1949 Bowman Satchel Paige #224

The auto stumbles a bit out of the gate and the crease hits his face.

The crease and smudge on the signature hurt the eye appeal, but still a great card.

The smudged auto and vertical crease through the face are problems.

The smudged auto and heavy crease make for a distracting appearance. I want to sit with an epic signed card like this and let my imagination run wild. But the flaws get in the way here.

I want to like this card but the autograph being a mess makes it impossible. Which sucks because without the smear it’s an A.

Tough with the two tone auto, vertical crease, etc. Still significant, but not very appealing.

Great card but the off centering and wrinkle are hard to ignore

The autograph is very life but well place. Vertical crease is distracting and there is discoloration issues especially on top border. And what looks like water staining in the bottom left

The crease and other surface issues as well as the issues with the auto especially the "Sa" in Satchel, dramatically hurt the Eye Appeal.

Want to like this one, but the auto issues, plus centering, plus the big wrinkle, sadly it just does not come together in a way that pleases the eye.
