It is as natural as the day it was shellacked.

Or perhaps you are referring to the Alexander in the first post?

Yes, the Alexander.

I have to admit I don't like the look of the borders on the Alexander. Because of this, I will not be selling my Wagner, which would have allowed me to pursue this card.

Edges look a little wavy to you?

That, it looks narrow, and the corners look unnaturally sharp. Just my opinion from a scan.

If you think those edges and corners are from 1915, I've got a screaming deal for you on a bridge in Brooklyn.

1915 CJ was also available as a complete set, so the grading distribution is funky. There are more 8s than any other grade.

Ha yup

I agree with Peter about the initially posted Alexander.

It is a great looking card. Absolutely awesome.

But looking at where the inner slab edges are, it looks slightly narrow, as Peter says. And; the top margin is bigger than at the bottom...

Look at the margins of that initial Alexander, study them for a few seconds, then look at Tony's Alexander with a 4 grade. Bigger margins all around, and with better vertical centering. And it looks real, more believable. Genuine. I think if I was going to be gifted one and I knew I'd be selling it to keep the cash, of course I'd pick the PSA 8. But if I was gifted one and I knew I'd be keeping it, I'd rather have that 4.
