1909 T206 White Border Tris Speaker

Here’s a card where having a little more tolerance on centering than most allows me to enjoy the card for its other key attributes. The square corners, color & tight registration make this a steal for what is likely a low technical grade.

Interesting card. The image is stunning. Great color, ok registration., weak centering that is exacorbated by a miscut, lower right crease and what appears to be some light wrinkling to the left is his upper shoulder. All contribute to a flat C but I'll bump it to a C+ because of the image itself and I might be being generous based on its set origin and age.

It's awesome to see such a bright, clear T206. There are a few little things like centering, imperfect corners and a hairline something next to "AMER." I don't care about the back issues. Personal note: a dealer traded 16-year old me a pile of minor league sets, including luminaries like Eric Anthony and Greg Vaughn, for my copy. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Centering is all I notice.

Nice color and registration. Centering is the main issue that distracts from the beauty.

It's about the flaws that bother me, so the back for me is not a thing. Centering is the lead issue followed by a registration shift, as I can't un-see the small outline around Speaker. Those flaws are far from eye appeal killers to me so it remains in the B Tier.

The blue background looks nice but the centering is off and there appears to be a crease on the right side. Back issues don't normally bother me much but that stain is pretty big.

Backs are never a factor for me so this is a good looking card in these here parts; centering and a touch of registration keep it at the velvet rope of the A Badges.

normally the back is not an issue but the Back is highly stained and it noticeable. The fronts presents well and the colors and images are really sharp. The card is off centered left to right and that is what catches my eye the most
