1948 Leaf Joe Di Maggio #1

Obvious centering and corner issues which stand out, but the auto and hat match is quite nice.

Registration and a nice auto salvage the eye appeal here, which was hurt considerably by very rough centering.

Beautiful auto but the centering affects the eye-appeal a great deal.

A Color A Registration D Surface D Cut / Centering A- Autograph This is tale of 2 stories. Eye appeal of the card and then the rarity of the Joe D autograph on this. Unfair & tough card to evaluate because the eye appeal doesn’t matter much for this example. About 15 signed copies of this 1949 card exists compared to an about 2550 total graded. However, this site is about imagining looking at the card from 18” to 24” away (or so). Great card to own.

I am looking at the card and the auto as a complete card. The auto is sharp, legible, and bold. And very well placed The card is way off center basically with 2 sides not having borders and the borders have condition issues The Auto is so nice to Me I love it and it balances out the border issues
