Card eye appeal is off the charts, In the posted scans looked a little light, not at all in hand. Bold colors with only a hint of "snow" in the crowd section and lightly on Mick's hat.
Under heavy magnification (>10X) I initially could find absolutely no creases or wrinkles, but tilting just right there "could" be a 1/4" VERY light surface wrinkle in border area near RH side about 1/2 up card near Mick's ear, but not convinced I'm not seeing things either as maybe I'm somehow talking myself into the "3"
L/R centering is 50/50; T/B centering ~60/40 (ie. well-centered)
Sharp Corners & Edges (at least "5/6" grade)
Minor Bottom Factory "rough" cut of card
The previously mentioned possible writing on back in between "E" and "A" in lead appears to be a factory print blob and not writing and is less significant in hand.
Mick was packaged very securely and shipped inside a Priority Mail box for safe delivery. Shipped across the country in 2 days.
EXTREMELY pleased with card in hand. Thanks Bob for a great transaction and a great add to my collection!!!
