1953 Topps Sam Jones #6

I really dig the elegant and thoughtfully placed auto and the canvas itself bears remarkably little wear. Top tier.

Clean & great ballpoint pen placement

The centering could be better, but it’s well disguised. The star of the show is the ballpoint pen auto against the light sky, which does enough for me to give this a very high eye appeal grade.

The card is ok and the autograph is ok. Neither complements each other but neither hurt each other. The auto is in an odd spot, it is legible and clean but not bold. The card has condition issues but the main issues is solid(minor wear but it blends in)

Nicely placed auto. Good image. If the card was better centered it would get into the "A" tiers for me.
