Could be a third party who hires people.. who knows where it would lead. Peter is it me or does his face look out of focus??

The registration is way off. Pretty much everything, including his face is out of focus.

Looks good to me. The 51 and 52B Mays can sometimes give that initial appearance for some reason, but if you look closely you don't see any print shift or stray color in the eyes or any other signs of a print problem. For example

Look at the outline of the jersey and how there are double-lines. Also, his eye has extra lines. But hey, it was dead-centered. Last edited by cgjackson222; 08-14-2023 at 01:28 PM. |

Subtle, but nice catch. To me even the one you call focused has an initial slightly out of focus appearance for some reason.

When BGS grades cards--their 4 categories are 1) centering 2) surface 3) Corners 4) Edges. Not sure if focus/registration is taken into account with surface. |

I have seen some comically out of register cards with huge print shifts in the face without qualifiers or deductions.

+1 I wouldn't take that card for 1/10th of the price. Registration is the first thing any card needs to have.

Has anyone determined what the small “paper flaw” on that 51 Bowman SGC 3 Mays is — surface wrinkle? Other?

There are just some players that get more hobby love than others........Ruth, Cobb, Mantle, Speaker, Mathewson, Walter J, Clemente, Gehrig, Ted Williams, Koufax.....
There are some baffling examples though of greats who don't get as much hobby love as they really deserve....the most glaring example to me is Frank Robinson....he truly was one of the great players of the game (check out his HR, hit, RBI totals) yet his cards can be picked up on the cheap, relative to his contemporaries.....which is great for collectors ![]() Last edited by Svabinsky78; 08-15-2023 at 07:43 AM. |
