The card has 6+ to 7 range corners, is centered decently, and is bright and new looking otherwise with bold color. Most of the other 4's and 5's I had been considering were more O/C than this one with worse corners. I paid way more than you should for a garden variety 3 - but this is clearly not a garden variety 3. The seller did tell me it was originally a 4 and he got burned on a resub - stands to reason given the new lighthouse holder, and how we all know they are getting tougher if anything on the details lately. Whatever - I really like the card despite the grade. And a true 6 would have been probably at least $200 more than what I paid for this.
