1955 Topps Sandy Koufax #123

Beautiful example that would be God Tier for me if the registration was perfect.

Elite eye appeal. Centering and a subtle registration shift are the only flaws that affect it.

This surely is a 9 or 10. Has to be. Gorgeous. I would say I would buy this in a heartbeat but it has to be way out of my price range!

Wow gorgeous copy. Color, centering, corners, edges. Only registration detracts.

Centering is almost perfect and the color still pops. Very clean looking card.

This card just hits you as pretty and nothing big leaps out at your eye the more you gaze at it. I spent a solid few minutes staring at this one, and all I can point out that some theoretical specimen could improve upon is very slight top to bottom centering, and the registration of the name font. But these are small details, the card has A+ beauty.

Where's the flaw?

I've looked at many copies of this card and this is a beauty. There's a little tilt and a tiny bit centered low, but an incredible card.

nice looking card and the colors are strong.

Before I get into the sheer looks here, have to say this card immediately hits the eye as undergraded by one whole third party opinion grade. The yellow background is immaculate, the centering nearly perfect (the faintest degree of tile visible in the left border as the eye travels upwards). This is textbook eye appeal, the exact card that shows you a savvy and shrewd-eyed collector did the hunting and selecting. If there is a visual difference in card looks between this 7 and an 8 or 9, when looking at the cards from a normal viewing distance, that difference in card is certainly not worth the difference we collectors would have to pay--making this card the winning choice.
