I seem to be saying this more and more often...but that's a 5??
I hope they're ok with my posting the auction image here, as the auction itself has already been linked to. If there's an issue, Leon, please feel free to remove it.
What's going on with the back? Can't be paper loss, as that would immediately limit the grade ceiling. So, what is on the back that has lowered this down three + grades?
I really must be getting senile, because I see four fairly nice corners for a 60 + year old card. Color and registration are remarkable, the edges are clean for the year, the centering is ever so slightly shifted to the right, and maybe the slightest of tilts. And the borders are nice and white. But, again, considering the age of the card, I'd think this would be a 7 card, without knowing what's going on with the back of the card. This is clearly an example of the card exceeding the technical grade.
Edit: the lower-right corner/edge is slightly touched. But Bobby, this is just a fantastic card, in my opinion.
Wow.
