1954 Topps Ted Williams #250

Stunning Ted! Slightly off centering and soft corners

Top edges are a detractor from a higher grade

Top tier beauty was my first instinct and a longer look did nothing to sway my gut on that. Some tilt from even higher badges, really like this Ted.

Good color & registration

Corners and PDs negate amazing color and solid sharpness.

Very good color. Snow around the cap and the fisheye stands out in the upper left box. Centering has tilt.

Love the look of this card and how bright the color and the image are. There is a shift on the centering but for this series it is one of the better I have seen. Some blemishes on the card ie(the fish eye in the black) but those hold it back but not from my enjoyment

This example of my favorite Ted card retains rather high eye appeal despite some tilt and stray print in the yellow. Corners just reach the threshold where to my eye they make a mild impact on eye appeal. Fish eye in the team logo box also makes minor impact. In the alchemical way that only card collectors know, somehow the flaws here don't add up to much and the overall impression lands well.
