Cool thread. i think these hit the mark pretty well, front & back...(centering, registration, boldness, etc). i have found that typically Uzits & Tolstois (and even EPDGs) can look rather light (not printed boldly). i looked far & long for these examples.

I've ventured out and started collecting '38 Goudey's also, but that hasn't slowed me down from collecting 206's. I'm currently focusing on tough commons. This week alone I've grabbed Ganley, Burch, and Magee. Hoping to score a Reulbach in my price range as well. I won't hijack this thread any longer, but if you ever want to talk cards or bs, shoot me a message...I'm always up for catching up!

[QUOTE=E93;1098000]Maybe so. One more for fun
Jim, this is now one of my all-time favorite cards. The Cobb bat-off-shoulder is my favorite front, and with an Uzit back. ![]() |

These were perfect, until some players decided to write their names on 'em.
![]() The credit for these beauties goes to Jeff Morey, who had the foresight to send really sharp T206s to their subjects; as well as the players themselves, who returned them unscathed. ![]() ![]() ![]()

IMO, image registration doesn't get much better than this one.

Tony, I have a 3.5 that I'll post later for the sake of comparison. It looks much worse than your threes.

Grading is a pyramid. At the top, you have the 10s. 10 means perfection and thus all 10s will be identical. As you go down the pyramid, grades are set for a variety of reasons -- 9s almost all look the same, but 3s, 2s and 1s have a huge number of potential flaws, including paper loss on reverse, creasing, corner wear, etc. What makes a card an SGC 30 could be a variety of factors that tell you nothing about the eye appeal of the card without looking at it.
Professional grading is not designed to reflect eye appeal. It is designed to point out flaws, often hard to see or hidden, in a piece of card board. When you see a clean-looking SGC 30, you actually know there are a lot of hard to see flaws. When you see a badgered up SGC 30, what you see is what you get. But not all SGC 30s will look alike -- in fact, at that level of the "pyramid" you will have a lot of different looking cards. This becomes problematic when sellers try to sell a PSA 2 for what a previous PSA 2 sold for. Without comparing both cards, going by the number alone gets you nowhere because what you don't know about the previous card is whether the damage was similar or whether the eye-appeal was comparable. Sometimes you can get a pretty good deal on a nice looking 2 when a seller is willing to use a previous ugly 2 as a comparable. This is why they say, "Buy the card, not the holder."

Tony nice cards and Scott good advice. For those of us on a budget, we buy the best looking example we can within our budget. For me that is a PSA 2 or 3 with some minor imperfection. Scott spells out my philosophy to a "t".

I had thought of creating a web-page(s) containing the most perfect color/registration cards that we could locate for each card in the set (belonging to members only). This might be a good start.
By the way - corners and edges don't count when it comes to color and registration ![]()

It seems that most are like myself... Retentive about the centering and registration... Forgiving on the soft corners....
However, sometimes the back makes all the difference... Thanks for sharing.... |

Not a bad green Cobb example, but the colors aren't very vibrant.

The illustration of the base behind him, in the dirt, is just one of the details that makes it pop, as opposed to some of the bad illustrations in the set (Spike Shannon for one).
Don't own a Konetchy, but always have been impressed. |

I always love these threads, then someone else has to post at least 30 examples.
I will post one, my favorite when it comes to color and registration...... |
