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

always loved this card and had to have another....though this one cost me more than the 4 I bought a few years ago...

Why the 2.5? Looks a lot nicer.

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 .

Thanks, it is certainly possible there are a few wrinkles going through to the front.....the aesthetics aren't very affected, to me.

ps...as an update there are a few faint paper wrinkles at the bottom right on the front. There are no other surface imperfections I can see under a 10x.....though there appears to be a tiny surface abrasion in the upper left, away from his head and not able to be seen very well or by the naked eye. All in all, better than expected.

Awesome pick up Leon. That card has very nice registration as well. Extremely tough to find with that kind of centering AND registration.
