1933 Goudey Jimmy Foxx #29

My cyclopic eye finds the eye appeal to be of a good order. Centering, wear, and disturbances on the reverse place it squarely in the center of the good spectrum.

Card presents very well even with the obvious wear that is seen on the corners and the crease at the top. The back damage does take away from the appeal because of the amount of paper loss.

Centering and corner wear nuke the eye appeal for me, more so than the crack by his head.

A bit too much corner rounding for my liking. The vertical crease and toning knock it down a bit as well. The central image of Foxx still looks great.

I do not like creases and this has a crease that is noticeable to me. And although it misses his face it is still a distraction to me

Good eye appeal to me, and a very good example of flaws that exist but in such a way that they don't bother my eye as much as were they elsewhere on the card. The vertical crease that just misses his face is very fortunate placement. The corners are noted but I can linger on the image and enjoy it. For me, backs are just an opportunity to save money, as I pray for wear on the back!

Like most cards, centering shift is first noted followed by hard corner touches. Closer viewing see the crease and print flaws. Reverse paper loss completes the above average eye appeal grade for me. Despite these findings the card still presents well and is a nice example of the Double XX.
