1952 Bowman Roy Campanella #44

This copy announces itself with lively color and crisp registration, the kind that immediately pulls the eye to the portrait. On closer inspection, faint horizontal print lines track across the forehead, cap, and jersey, reading lightly through the blue field from edge to edge. A small speck on the left margin and a yellow print dot in the lower-right field interrupt an otherwise clean surface. Centering is very good and helps the card present above its technical flaws. The factory cut is uneven on the left and right yet remains tidy along the top and bottom, avoiding the ragged look that can dull first impressions. Way better centering than most, image is on par with assigned grade minus the yellow dot.

Nice centering and colors with strong eye appeal. A few touches on the surface and corners are all that keep it from a higher grade. Very nice card.

The color really pops on this card. Small print line running through his forehead and centering tilt are noticeable.

Quite quite nice.. Amazing colors combined with elite centering. Just a couple faint horizontal print lines or wrinkles, hard to tell. Either way, takes hardly anything away.

Awesome color. Elite centering. Strong corners. Really nice card.

I see nothing I'd want to improve here.

Pretty card, ever saw this one before.

nice colors and strong image. Balanced and relatively bright borders there are some very light paper wear or white lines/pixeling going left to right but not to noticeably unless you look close
