1975 Topps George Brett #228

This George Brett rookie gets the hard stuff right. The usual tilt that plagues the issue is barely here, and the Royals lettering stays crisp. It’s a little left and slightly high, but nothing that wrecks the look. Color is the only real ding — mild fading, especially in the green and purple — though the image is still clean with a clear, sharp face. Corners and edges hold up nicely. A legitimately solid example that presents better than most.

Nice looking version with the off centering being the issue that bothers me most.

Color looks nice and I don't see any typical print defects. Centering and some edge wear on the bottom are the only issues.

Really solid example. Slight tilt and centering could be a touch better.

love the look of the card and the color and image is strong the off centering and subtle tilt holds it back from the Next level but a card I would be proud to own

Really dig the edges and corners but the centering is clearly off.

I know this card inside and out as I have been collecting and shopping for these since I was a kid. The centering is off on this one and the color is actually a little dull compared to how they can look at their best. Sharp overall still, just not 'A' - worthy.

Great looking card. Centering and a few surface blemishes hold it back.

As a centering guy, this level of centering cannot hit my 'A' mark for beauty. Everything else is lovely, so it sits at an easy A-. The way I collect, I'd prefer perfect centering and a wrinkle on the back or a subtle wrinkle on an edge that only shows up at certain angles in the light.

I could nitpick the centering but I won’t because this is a beautiful example with clean edges and sharp corners. Really outstanding example.
