1962 Topps Willie Mays #300

My cyclopic eye finds the eye appeal to be of a good order, though the centering, corner touches, and faint disturbances along the edges place it at the lower end of the good spectrum.

Nothing major so eye appeal stays in the good tier. Corners and edges are standard for childhood handling.

The image looks nice to me. My eye is drawn to the left-to-right centering and the edge wear that’s so common on these ’62Ts.

First thing i see is chipping all around the panels on the border, edges, and corner. The main image is good but the background wear does not helps its appeal

A bit off-centered L/R. Surface wear in the background..

Some common chipping but still a solid card

Great centering keeps this Say Hey in the second tier, as corner wear makes an impact. I am admittedly a centering over corners collector, yet on a 62 this degree of corner wear shows up enough to exceed my threshold for corner wear tolerance.
