Thoughts on Jim Brown Rookie PD?

[glynparson]

some degree of pd, snow,sugar, splotches, print dots, print defects, whatever you choose to call the mess on most 1958 Jim Brown Topps Rookie cards.

Thanks for the replies. Wanted to make sure I wasn't getting too picky/critical - I have that tendency. I'll definitely adjust my expectations on this one. Thanks Again.

While it is true that the 1958 Topps Jim Brown Rookie card can be plauged by "print snow", By no means does it mean that there are not cleaner nicer copies of the card out there. I would not conceed to the fact that you have to settle for one full of "Print Snow".

Just be prepared to open the wallet for the nicer ones out there.

Thread needed a picture. Mine too has the snowy flakes.

Mine too...plus a few other 'character' marks:



Hey, what do you want for five bucks?

Same image was used for his Sport Pix:

Thanks for the images - those were nice to see. I like the Sport Pix card - shows Topps dropped the ball on this one - at least not as bad as on the early Jim Taylor cards.

Yep, this card has a lot of condition obstacles; print snow, centering and tilt issues (seems like even the centered examples have a slight tilt), central images that are off register to varying degrees, you name it. Then you have the colored reverse which makes even minor chipping stand out. Pretty tough card, but a nice one to have in any grade.
