1948 Caramelos El Indio Monte Irvin #13

I think the eye appeal flaws here are more endemic to all copies of this card, or perhaps even the set. Low eye appeal seems intrinsic to the very design, image chosen, printing process, etc.

Fading and off-centering are common with this card, and this copy is no exception. Even so, it’s a rare and special example.

This is why we have the COMPARE feature, and why it is great that I can read reviews from other members who have knowledge of cards I do not . I am admittedly unfamiliar with this set. I now understand this is a very rare item, and I also was able to see it beside other examples, with which it is on par. Given its sharpness and given that they are all rather unattractive in terms of a grainy, low-contrast photo, I'll cap them at A-. Unless one pops up with much better contrast. The corners here look great and the full-bleed edges show no wear.

Washed out and off center but a special card

reviewed with no back of card to refer to. These cards are extremely rare (the entire series). The cards are by the way the photos were done are all grainy. There is issues with lines and speckling. But on these grainy photos I think it is kind of cool looking
