I think it is just that Cub uniform that makes him look old and washed out. In his later cards he looks younger and more colorful --and happier

If you stick to corners, edges, centering and surface (assuming the dots do not affect the card's surface) the grade looks about right. That is the criteria that the grading companies use.

Okay, well that makes sense. I didn't know that card color or discoloration aren't determining factors.

Maybe he's just been out in the sun too long after the grade was given?

I enjoy comments like this My favorite Cardinal HOFer. Looked great in his red blazer for opening day!
