Interesting question on many levels.
As they're presented, I'd probably go with the 50. The corners and color are much nicer. The corner wear on the 40 seems a bit much for the grade, as it goes into the design.
The other interesting things are that the cards are presented differently, one with the holder upright, the other with the card upright. I wonder if they were presented equally how many of us would make a different choice. I tried it, and it's a much closer decision.
Another point is whether the colors are correct. The first one seems a bit more yellow overall, which can be typical of camera images without enough light. Even if scanned the colors could be off of what's "real". So maybe if they were both in hand it would be an even closer decision.
