This arrived in yesterday's mail. It's in nice shape; the surface is fairly clean, the registration above average, and the color is vibrant.

I'm not as concerned with centering these days because bidding can get fiercely competitive for reasonably well-centered T206 cards. So, I didn't dismiss this out-of-hand when I saw it. Glad I gave the card a second look and decided to bid. I picked it up with an old-school, manually placed (no fancy software for me) last-second snipe.

I now have all four T206 John McGraw cards. Achievement unlocked.

EDITED TO ADD: the red background is not two-tone; that's the shadow/reflection of my phone
