I love the look yet the switched autos is weird to me. In its own way it does affect the eye appeal.
Normally back damage doesn't bother me much, but this one is pretty bad. Front looks great, although I prefer the Autos on the correct player.
I clicked god tier, then did a cursory check of the back and knocked it down a peg. That back would bother me. Everything else would delight me. Love that they signed each other. A little playful ribbing between two of the greatest ever.
I will say this about every signed example of this card that exists: what star power to have touched the same card! The back doesn't bug me. Like others have noted, the switched autograph placement is a bit funky. Reverse that placement and it is A+. But placement does matter for me on these special pieces.
This card made me stop in my tracks and all I could think about was who signed first. What a great card that deserves an A grade just for the uniqueness. I love it.
Simply Put I Like it. I enjoy card oddities and this qualifies. Never seen 2 autographs where each player signed over the other. Great 1 of 1 And even better the autographs are nice and bold and legilbe
Mr. Reality changed my mind on this card! This is the strangest eye appeal grade I have had to give and probably ever will. They signed over each other which just crosses my wires terribly LOL. It's wild because my reflex is, "Ooh, this is prett-- wait, did they... UGH." I've actually never seen this criss-crossed placement before on any multi-player card. I wonder who "drew first blood" by signing over the other? On one hand, Mays could be cranky. On the other, Mick was a little mischievous. Would be fun to know!
Woah... What an awesome 1 considering I rarely even flip to the back of the card. Great dual sigs, both bold and in a similar enough color which I prefer. Centering is just a tick off. I simply need this card? **Post review edit after being made aware of swapped autos! Doesn't kill the card for me by any means, but certainly peculiar.

The side tilt is not a problem for me here. The cross-body signing is a little weird. If they signed on themselves, A+.
