This image of Babe Ruth from Spring Training in Hot Springs Arkansas (where he trained 195-1918) reaches the Top Tier of eye appeal. Centering and corner wear are its noticeable flaws, yet they bother both human and artificial eyes very little.

Hot heat right here. Corner wear is even and gives all the vintage feels. Slight oc keeps out of the top top.

I see the centering opportunity here, but it doesn’t bother me as much as it would if the card were darker. This is a great copy that’s very easy to look at.

Textbook A- eye appeal to me, as it present great while the only flaws are a touch of centering and mild corner wear. Awesome Babe.

Strong eye appeal. Centering and corners are taken into account yet have mild effect.

very good looking card and love the size of the borders. THe centering is nice not perfect but nice as most of these cards have poor centering. The image is strong and details are good. there is is some dots affecting the image near hat and head but they blend into this card well. Someone is really lucky to enjoy this card and hope they share it

Very clean card. Centering is the only issue that I notice.

Surface is clean and Ruth's image looks great. Centering and corners lower the grade slightly, but not by much.

Centering from an A+ and then better corners would take it to God Tier. Pretty darn pretty as is.

A dream copy for me of this early Babe. Love how it is a picture from the Red Sox era, I believe from Arkansas sprint training facility. The centering is the only possible though highly unlikely area for improvement. The corner wear does not faze me in the slightest. Great looking example!
