1934 Goudey Jimmy Foxx #1

Great eye appeal card. Colors pop. A couple surface flaws - minor. Nice centering. Rounded corners as expected. But this card looks dynamite from 18 inches away.

It presents well through the wrinkle as it doesn’t distract - which is saying something. It sneaks into B tier in spite of that, but a skosh of top/bottom centering + PD hold it back. Overall a good looking card that I suspect punches well above its numerical grade!

A little soft on the corners, but the centering and color bring it to life. It's a beaut!

The color and Foxx's are quite strong, but the centering and surface damage hold this card back.

Wow is that mark or crease subtle in the G of Gehrig! Hardly notice it so it hardly factors in. Centering, main image, color, all great. High EyeQ is my bet here.

As I love to say: if the flaw does not bother my eye, it ain't there ;) I will borrow a great phrase from another Council Member and say I take a "step back" approach to eye appeal, or a "real life viewing distance" approach. Even blown up large, when I kick back in my chair and stare at this card several seconds, I am super pleased.

Card has surface wear issues/spots but they actually blend into the card. The borders are decent sized and centering is good. Better than the slab and the colors and image make the card look good but do not POP
