Eye Appeal

[ClementeFanOh]

This is an interesting conversation. I think it goes without saying that there
can be a comparison of 2 of the same card, that each got the same grade by
the same grader- leaving the holder to come up with some way to
differentiate between the 2. One T206 that is an SGC 3 can have more vibrant
front color than the 2nd exact same card, and we can tell by looking it "pops"
more than the other. In private conversations with other collectors about
sales/trades, I will mention which cards grab your attention versus the others.
As long as some seller doesn't say every single card in their inventory has
"great eye appeal", it's just another descriptor for both seller and buyer to
consider. It's an ineffable term for sure, like when US Supreme Court Justice
Potter Stewart was describing pornographic material- "I know it when I see
it". That's how I feel about cards with superior eye appeal. Trent King
