Why are T207's getting a bad rap

On the one hand (e.g. Johnson), I agree about the overall quality of likeness... on the other, e.g. Donlin, its a different story.

       

If you've got a card with decent image and registration quality in hand, many of them (about half) are just amazing - there's much more of a depth, feeling and vibrancy to the image than you might expect.

Sadly, most of the HOF'ers do not fall into that category. I think Hooper is probably the exception ... (and maybe Wallace)



Also, while there's not the diversity of manufacturing backs like T205 and T206, there are enough vagaries, subtleties, and general difficulties that understanding and completing have made it enjoyable for me over the last few years.

My two biased cents ...
