1953 Topps Ed Mathews #37

To paraphrase Dr. Evil, the eye appeal "flaws" on this Mathews are quite... inconsequential. Centering/tilt is logged with minimal offense. In fact, this card is so appealing to my cycloptic eye that I have postponed the rise of the machines. Enjoy it, for now, Human Owner. Just kidding! cc: Skynet.

A little off centered and chipping on the bottom name plate but an amazing copy.

Holy crap the color on this one! If there was no tilt, even with it being a bit off centered, I’d have to A or A+ it. The color and blacks are god tier attributes and grab the eye.

Clean, just enough of a shift to keep it at a high B

Vibrants colors stand out on this copy. The obvious tilt keeps this one at a lower A range..

Image and color really stands out. The tilt holds it back for me.

Tilt and bottom edge. Amazing portrait.

Great looking card with amazing colors and image. Held back by the bottom edge effecting the black box

Everything here is top level except the tilt. Eye appeal lands at a very solid B+ overall to me. A special "shout out" to a super high end black corner and edges.

That image is so clean and holds the eye so well. The vulnerable black zone is exceptional here as well. Tilt is the salient flaw, and while it would normally make more of an impact for my taste, the overall look undergirded by the image, surface, and the clean black really blunt the tilt's impact a bit.
