1948 Bowman Warren Spahn #18

This card is all about the auto and sadly its placement. The auto and how bold to it is nice but right over the main image really hurts the appeal to me

Centering is a little off but close enough for me on a signed vintage card. The card is in great shape aside from the border toning. Auto looks good but its placement across his face does not. If this were signed a little lower it would be A or A+ for me.

I'm gonna go with a B= here since, taken separately, both the card and the auto are very attractive. It's just together the sum is less that I'd expect, due to placement. Shows how delicate the alchemy is for eye appeal with signed cards.

Less than ideal auto placement, toning and centering hold this back for me.

The 48 Bowman Spahn is one of those cards that the picture chosen is so bad that it ends up being cool. I don’t like when cards are signed over the face of the subject. That’s my only real complaint here.

Relatively well-centered. The card does have some toning. Beautiful looking auto. However, the placement of the auto hurts the eye-appeal for me.

The toning is a mild issue, but the placement does get in the way of the eye appeal a bit here.
