56 Mantle
Typically the snow is not something that is appealing to me either, but what I will say is that in hand and viewing the card, the snow is not prevalent or even an eye sore. I do not believe that snow effects the grade of a card at a 5 level or below with either PSA or SGC.
Let's not forget, the card was graded a 3, eye appeal off the charts, and thus SGC deemed the card as "Not Perfect". I accept that fact, it was priced very fairly for the presentation of the card and one I am still very happy with, regardless of the centering discussed yesterday or the snow mentioned here.
I've done deals with Rob prior, and what I will say is that the card delivered has always lived up to or exceeded my expectations beyond the scans posted.
The great thing about our hobby is that it can be so many things to so many people, and while it is fair to say "not for me", it could be viewed negatively when it might be "perfect for others"...
