And the winner/loser is #2...
 ...but I got it at a great price, and it looks beautiful to my eyes. (Stringent PSA 9 guidelines aside) I would never consider this type of centering to be anything but 'fine and normal.' Love it!!! 1972erving255psa9ocX.jpg

Today's episode (a tough one at that) is called Print Defect or Grader Defect...
(These cards were randomly placed in two rows, so there is no underlying rhyme or reason to the layout. As always...no cheating!!) Here is a sextet of 1957 Topps tough series #293 Ted Abernathy cards. All are graded PSA 9 (There are only 4 different examples at the PSA Auction Prices Realized site, one for sale on ebay, and one recently sold on ebay, so these six represent all of the 9's readily available for easy viewing, so I didn't purposefully grab pics to throw anyone off the scent. These are the 'only' ones out there.). The 'negative' similarities of the group include most are a tiny bit short side to side and there are usually some tiny bluish 'gnats' buzzing around the pics. No back print issues come into play. Here's where it gets tough...only one of them has a PD (print defect) qualifier, just one. Which of these 6 virtually identical PSA 9 cards is cursed by the PD designation?? You can take a wild guess if you want to (go for it!), but I'd love to hear why you think your selection deserved the qualifier. (The top row contains cards #1, 2, 3, and the bottom row has cards #4, 5, 6.)

For the Ted Abernathy, I am guessing top row middle. It appears the blue gnats around Ted and Wash are more frequent, and the "P." is blurry/imperfect.
