Card is now a SGC 7 with a glowing description.
"Those who've studied the '48 Leaf Jackie Robinson rookie know quickly how this example is
a world apart from the rest. Easily ranking among the finest copies we've had the pleasure of brokering in our long tenure and conservatively ranking within the top 30% of our quality spectrum. This card
lights up the room with its glowing lemon-yellow background and virtually 50-50 centering. The
borders are virtually immaculate, the
periphery is blemish free and the
card stock is NM-MT. Furthermore, three corners are pin-point sharp while the bottom right has a microscopic touch present at the extreme point. An exceedingly light horizontal print roller mark through Jackie's hat is all that keeps from grading higher. In conclusion, this is simply a
world class example of a highly significant production, both in the world in trading cards and our country's culture and history."
Stain reduced at the top of the card front. Edges (especially at the top) are significantly better. No mention of the crease.
