I'm upgrading cards in my sets. The one I sought, obtained, and became slightly disillusioned was a 1953 Bowman Color Dale Mitchell. Those of you who have collected this set already know that this is a very difficult card to find centered. The one that I have/had in my set was a PSA 4.5 recent grade; it has sharp corners, but the centering is 25/75 left to right.
I saw a perfectly-centered Mitchell advertised in ex to ex-mint condition od Greg Morris's site. Bidding was ending during the Super Bowl and I won it at a great price. When it arrived I was ecstatic, until I saw it under the light and noticed the card has an indentation in the bottom left corner of the card as though it had been squeezed, the rest of the Mitchell is fantastic.
I've purchased from Greg Morris before and will continue to do so in the future. The card has great eye appeal, better than my PSA version, but there's the damage. I'm not quite sure what I'm going to do yet. Here's the card:
