The picture below shows (2) Willis T206 cards that were graded by two different companies. Tell me what grade you would assign the cards. If you want to include a commentary that's fine. Just call the cards Left and Right. |

I guess 40 (left), 30 (right) for no good reason. The card on the right has a whammy. |

but think they probably got the same grade (bkgnbd not as even on r, color not as good on left, both have problem corners). I just am a sucker for color and resolution. |

Left is a 4 and Right is 3, possibly a 2. Chipping does it despite the brilliance and overall better looking card. |

just got this grade back from sgc. Graded good for multiple severe creases and rounded corners. according to sgc the severe creases which break the cardboard on the front and back of the card are clearly visible at arms length. when i dropped the card off at the office there was not a single crease that i would term severe. has anyone ever pleaded their case about a grade and had it changed |

Although I usually prefer the card with the sharper image, the maroon/burgandy background looks quite good. I would select either of these on price alone. A tradeoff of worse corner wear for worse edge wear will remain too subjective to call, until grading is better defined. |

We all realize the limitations of "technical grading". I personally would rather have the card on the right, assuming it hasn't been trimmed across the top. |

left is VG+, right is EX-. This assumes no trim or alteration. Even though the grades are similar, I would greatly prefer the one on the right due to its vibrant appearance and color. Corners be damned. I'm sure you're going to tell us that the one on the left was professionally graded higher. |

I would personally call them both VG-EX based on grades I have seen from the mail grading companies. I think the one on the right has better eyeappeal IMO. |

IMHO your question deserves its own thread, but to offer a quick response, I will prefer the VG card described because focus, and color are more important to me than veining and corner wear. |

Check out the button on the "S" they are in different positions. I also have 2 different with buttons in different positions. The color does not appear shifted since his hair is in the same place on both. |

The ink used to print the word "Pittsburg" was probably shifted slightly. |

I dont think theres any other card in the t206 set that has more color variance than Vic Willis' portrait card.You could see 10 of them side by side and have 10 different colors/looks |

Both coins and stamps are collected like that. I have seen a set of many variations of the same date and mintmark large cent, 1793-1820 or so. The variations there were the different dies which were used (all hand tooled, therefore all slightly different). |

I agree completely that the Willis background color fluctuates as much as any. The red portraits that end up being orange portraits are also very interesting - if I could afford to collect the entire t206 set I would certainly add these color variations as my set approached completion. |

Left: nice plum bg. corners and surface and registration (I'll take your word for no creases) are vg to vg-ex quality. If someone knows their colors, I could seen them knocking it down a grade for lack of full color. |

I'll be honest with you, I believe the left card was overgraded, it looks more like a "3" to me. I'll give the right card a "4" (a "5" on a good day). Yes there is chipping along the border and yes the top right corner is a little dinged but the overall appearance (to me) is much more appealing. This is one reason that I would have a hard time buying a card sight unseen "just" because it was graded by a "reputable" grading monkey (I hope I didn't insult any monkeys by that last comment). |

Just stick with your plain red background version. Me, if I had the money I'd have a red background Cobb with perfect registration, and another where the blue is off just enough to where he appears to be looking in a different direction. And I'd have orange background versions of all the red-background portraits...and I'd pay a little extra to get them. But that's just me (not a Miller Lite drinker). |

And all this points out to me is that I can "discover" new things which I want faster than I can reduce my existing wantlist. So I am constantly shuffling my priorities. But this is a good thing. |

I sit here saying to myself "self: you are waay out of your league here". I have a few t206s because they fit other things I was doing, but I never seriously considered the set, well because it is monstrous, and I figured that I should pay attention to the OJs first. |

John, Im glad that you explained ROYGBIV. I would still be wondering. Indigo got thrown out of the spectrum!! I did not get that news. I gotta wonder who's job it is to make that level of a decision. Whew. Is there now a opening? How about Mauve, Taupe or Cilantro? |
