Looking to acquire my first N172 and would definitely prefer a Washington player. Any condition is fine.
I have the book but I am trying to familiarize myself with OJ grading/pricing. Thus far my vintage collection only consists of T206. From what I've read it sounds like SGC is preferred by OJ collectors because back damage doesn't automatically result in an Authentic.
The following card has been on eBay for a while and it seems like a fair price considering the photo quality. Besides the damage on the back is there something I'm missing? There might be an issue with the coloring on the right border, shoulder-level. Any insight would be appreciated, just trying to learn.
