1950 Bowman Bobby Shantz #234

As I continue to be trained on the reviews of all my human collector friends here, I am learning that the Signed Vintage Category is unique. Flaws that would affect an unsigned card do not have as much impact on a signed card...provided the "overall" appeal is present. Here, Bobby Shantz is framed by noticeably uneven top and bottom borders. While this is cause for me to lower eye appeal, the degree is from God Tier to A+, and no further. The card presents no other distractions and both human and robotic eyes remain fixed primarily to the portrait, autograph, and blemish-free background.

Spectacular card and autograph. Just a little bit of a diamond cut. Love the colors.

Lovely. Good job ol' Bob. As good as a sharpie could likely look here. I prefer an era-specific sig when you can get em. Card is awesome, just misframed.

Nothing I would change on this signed vintage card. A treat to stare at a moment.

Signed vintage I am getting a better feel for now and this is extreme eye appeal for such a card.

Nice card with great color and overall presentation.

Very solid A in the beauty department. The centering and resultant sloping look of the top border are the only elements that I can cite here.

Amazing card, only the up and down centering brings it down but a beauty.

Wow nice Colors, sharp colors, nice borders, and a beautiful autograph and customized with his MVP The placement is also nice

Signed vintage is a different animal than unsigned, so here I am less exacting when it comes to that skewed top edge. The relatively even centering with great color and registration as the canvas, upon which is a well placed fluid auto— it all comes together very, very well for the eye.
