Card # 2.

Card #2, the SGC centered card, is to me the best of the bunch and the only one on which I would spend money.
The PSA examples have high technical grades based primarily on corners, but to me corners are gravy; centering and image has to be there first. |

#1, #2 then #3.
#2 is nicer than #3 but #3 has the cleaner back. I prefer the deeper colors of #2 compared to #1 but that could be the scan/brightness? #1's centering is the best and why I chose it. (I would be proud to own either one however!) (Remember, my eyes are 52 yrs old and I don't wear the proper glasses like I should. ![]()

The image, color, and centering are all better on the second card, the first SGC one. So I would pick #2 as well. I would pick the 51 Mantle PSA 8 up on ebay over the two at Goldin and Goodwin for the same reasons.

Is it my eyes, or do both #2 and #3 have a slight tilt or uneven border width top to bottom?
