I can see the centering shift and the rounded corners and some print dots...but I also see the colors, uniformity, and subject and I think it is wonderful card. Please send it to my personal vault immediately.

Nice card. Great color and registration. Centering shift and heavy corner wear hold it back though

Great color and the image is clear and really stands out. Left to right centering and round corners keep this just below A tier.

colors and image are sharp and Babe really stands out. The borders are off centered and worn but it is a nice Mid Tier card for me

Yellow background and image looks great. Off-centered and a bit too much rounding of the corners for my taste.

Look at that yellow background. Those colors pop & the centering is good enough for me. Obviously rounded corners which I assume brings the technical grade down enough to be an eye appeal collector's dream.

What strikes me first and most pleasingly about this Yellow Babe is the quality of the yellow background (minimal soiling, toning, blemishes) and the registration (no cap blur or blur around his hands). These aspects contribute greatly to eye appeal for me. The centering is in the strikezone, though borderline due to how it favors the right side, and the corners are at a level where of course I notice-- but they don't "wreck the party" as my collecting mentor is fond of saying. So the overall eye appeal is high to me here and I would enjoy owning this copy, never seeking to pay more for better corners. Now if all else could remain equal, but the centering would improve, then I might make a move.
