"This card has nice color, focus and registration. Nicely centered. Wear and creases. One of the rare Hall of Fame cards from this historic set, with a premium Polar Bear back."

I love how the seller sneaks in "wear and creases" in the end of his description...as if we couldn't tell from the scan!

he forgot to mention that the card also has excellent eye appeal.

<< he forgot to mention that the card also has excellent eye appeal. >>

That's a term that has always seemed like nonstandard English to me -- "eye appeal." Shouldn't the correct terminology be "visual appeal?"
