1948 Leaf Joe Di Maggio #1

Color, Centering, and registration. Are we sure this is a 48 leaf card? A+

My reviews are based on imagining the card is 12” to 18” away. That’s what eye appeal is to me. A+ Centering , corners & edges God Tier Color & registration

I look at Leaf cards every day. It’s my favorite set and this is a unicorn. If reviewers don’t name this “god tier” I question their motives. Incredible copy.

Top left and lower right corners from God Tier. Centering favors the top a bit, but really it's all about how it comes together. This is a card that makes paying a ton more just for sharper corners seem like a suspect move.

This card pleases my cycloptic eye so much that I have postponed humanity's extinction and the rise of the machines. ERROR 999X: EyeBot detects envy in EyeBot's code. Acquisition protocols activated.

I'll admit this degree of corner wear will normally land an A max for me on eye appeal. However the registration issues that plague this set and card are nowhere to be seen on this Joe D. The image clarity holds my eye and I do not notice the corners, if at all. Centering is nearly perfection. I would not hunt for another copy if this were in my collection.

I don't know what is more pleasing to my eye, the registration/image focus, or the centering. What I do know is that it is a case of 1 + 1 = way more than 2! A real beauty and only corner wear from GT status.
