Rob,

The paper stock is just fine. They are also the same size. Scanner issue.

I'm super psyched to add this tough type to my Pittsburgh collection - thanks for advertising the ebay auctions through the Net54 contest or I might not have even noticed it:

Thanks, Brian.

I am not a paper expert, but the print and the texture of the paper I do not associate with the early 1900s.

There goes the college education, LMAO.....

There are a few almost imperceptible wrinkles on the reverse, in the upper right sphere. There could be a bit of wrinking on the lower front but if there is it doesn't bother me. It looks like there might be a few errant, erased marks on back too. I noticed some and it didn't bother me.... I didn't buy the holder (not that you said I did, but I always like cards more than plastic).

This might sound like sour grapes but I actually like it a bit better than the 4 I had because this one has better centering (and that one had great centering).....Now, when I find this kind of card and it's a T205 Cobby......then I will be back to some of my favorite cards in Collection II.....I love the journey....

Leon,

Great card.

I can see a wrinkle below the bat parallel to the arch of Ruth's lip and another one on his hip on the right side, but I'm also no expert at grading. Never submitted a card. Never will .
