1954 Johnston Cookies Hank Aaron #5

It has the potential for a good looking card. That bottom staining is really a distraction when it comes down to the final grade.

the discoloring at the bottom is to much and to distracting. The image itself and colors are good. Add to it the off centering and mis sized borders and it slides down the scale a bit more

Interesting card. In my opinion we've got a top tier card with gunk on the bottom, so assuming the numeric system hit this with a 1 or maybe 1.5, this Hank should have a beefy EyeQ+ A great grab because I could enjoy the image, and it is a tall/long card so the damage is serendipitously located. Just too nice for the C Tier.

I actually had to compare because at first I hardly noticed the bottom border area, which appears to be residue, perhaps from an album. I thought at first glance that was the card design. The rest is great with just a centering shift. Because the problem is so far from the main image I stay in the B zone.
