The centering is great. The focus is great. There isn't a minute wrinkle anywhere. The borders are still as full as most T206s. If I put that card next to any other Wagner it looks better, to me. Would it be my first choice of one, no. But saying it doesn't at least present better than any other is wrong, imo. Show me another that has better aesthetics. And putting the Jumbo Wags up next to it, not even close. That being said the 8 is tainted...but that doesn't take away from the eye appeal.

Agreed. Best looking but tainted.

The PSA 9 CJ Jackson is stunning.

The 1952 Topps Mantle was graded a PSA 10, but looking at the card, the image is tilted. Still a nice looking example.
