This card, which I have obtained for my collection of 1924 Senators players, is one of the most faded - for example, the blue border was originally much, much darker. I doesn't appear to me that SGC greatly, if at all, penalized this card for its fading. https://collectrea.com/archives/2024...graded-example |
That is a very interesting comp - it reminds me of the varying image quality of the Old Judge cards… thx for sharing.
