Getting closer to perfection on the mays RC with this fine example. L/R a bit too much to overlook

B- is as high as I can go given the centering.

Very nice image. Some surface imperfections near the face and the cap. L/R centering is a bit off.

Overall looks hold together and eye appeal thus remains in the second tier to me. Centering and the faint wrinkle that contacts his face make impact.

Strong colors on this 52 Mays. Obvious heavy right border and a scratch on his cheek keep this one one from the A tier.

The image and background color look good. Centering is the main issue, and there are also a couple minor scratches or marks and some minor corner wear.

nice mid tier card. IT presents well with nice colors and image. The mis-sized borders and off centering effects the eye appeal as does the surface wear especially on the top border and near his face
