How important is centering to you? Green Cobb choice

[AndyG09]

Chuck, I love that green Cobb. That is exactly what I am on the hunt for to add to my set. The perfect "low grade" card. Thanks for sharing.

Best,

Andy

Thanks for the kind words, Andy. I'm sure you'll get your Cobb sooner or later, and, as we all know, the chase is half the fun.


Regarding the poll that started this thread....

At first glance, I was going to choose the lower grade PSA card, as I put a lot of value on centering. However, after really looking at both cards closely, I noticed the PSA card also has that smudge on Cobb's face, which detracts from the overall eye appeal. If the PSA card were valued about 30% less, I'd go with the PSA card all day. But with both cards valued the same in this poll, I'd choose "A" (the SGC card) due to its superb image, surface, and corners.

If the PSA card did not have the smudges on Cobb's face, I'd have a much tougher time choosing between the two. If the OC on the SGC card was L/R instead of the more acceptable T/B, then I'd also have a tougher choice. I guess this just shows that many factors are to be considered when picking that card for your collection.
