I would suspect that many untrained eyes would automatically speculate this T206 as at least a 7 were it not already in a holder. My 1st glance at this card was a "wow" and then I automatically assumed "crease" because of the holder.

PWCC's target customer consists of way more than us on the boards and as such I don't think their "HE" designations (or whatever else) is necessarily such a bad thing.


Been saying the same thing. Most of the regular contributors to this forum
are skilled enough to operate without assistance....but they only make up
a small percentage of the collecting public. The rest of the wold may need
helping hand/eye.
