John displayed some beautiful cards, and as he and Jay said, serious OJ collectors care almost entirely about how strong and clear the image is. Sure, any collector would prefer that there is no back damage, that can never be an asset, but the photo makes the card. Even sillier is a card with a nearly faded image that gets a 6 or a 7 because it has square corners and little wear. It goes against all common sense, but the TPG's are stubborn and will only grade an OJ based on its technical flaws. Eye appeal does not factor in. If you like encapsulated cards, send them in and just ignore the label.
