1933 Goudey Babe Ruth #53

Slight OC LTR and lighter coloring but still a beautiful copy.

The image looks great but the color has faded, centering is a little off, and the pin holes would bother me.

At first glance I was thinking B- as there's the obvious damage and color is a little faded, but the Babe image and surface are so nice it slides up in eye appeal to me.

Without the pinholes, this would be in the A-/B+ range.

The top right pinhole is actually the only one I really notice; it does dampen the eye appeal a bit. The focus is tight and the corners and absence of issues on The Babe keep the eye appeal in B tier, which means this card punches high above its weight. The EyeQ+ will likely be significant here.

Aside from the four pinholes, the image presents very well. The colors are good but doesn't stand out. At least the pinholes are away from the image.

Many of these cards so this is one I would pass on. I do not like pin holes and add to it the horizontal lines running thru the card and it effects the overall image quality The card has decent colors and the image is ok despite the lines
