I certainly am about the eye appeal of it, when cards like this can get the same technical grade as the Marquard right above (no offense to you, Mikehealer!)....

Eye appeal as well. I have a Boston Store card and a Cracker Jack that are both SGC "A" and IMO, despite a little trimming, look MUCH nicer than a Poor or w/e. That is my general rule, w some exceptions.

Default A little back damage ain't bad!
That Walter Johnson reminds me of my '56 Kahns' Frank Robinson, Scott--Ex+ front, slight back damage, apparently from being glued into a scrapbook and improperly removed. It received a grade of "fair" from SGC, but I'd been looking for one that looked even halfway decent for many years, and was [and am] absolutely delighted with it!

Thanks for all the responses, guys. I really wanted to know what the hardcore guys thought.

Larry
