Great centering and bold color!

I know very little about these cards, but that card looks way better than a 2.5 to me.

Good luck with your sale, Mike.

Thanks Irv. I've been asked a few times via PM about the card's flaws, so the reason it only got a 2.5 can be summed up below. This was provided to me when I bought it raw and is very accurate:

The card is visually a stunner, but upon close inspection a light horizontal surface wrinkle is seen on either side on the Front, and on the Reverse two longer diagonal wrinkles are there. Neither amount to creases, I wouldn't say. Absolutely perfect centering and bold colors more than make up for that.

IMO, the 49 Bowman Jackie is an underrated card with room to grow .... just sayin

Much nicer than the 2.5 grade! Good luck!

Thanks Pete and Neal. You guys are making me reconsider letting this go!
I just pulled out a Kris Bryant and getting the auction ready. He might have to take one for the team!

Thanks for the explanation, Mike.

I guess I should quit commenting on these lower graded cards as most seem to have things that warrant the grade they receive. There are exceptions however.
