1951 Bowman Willie Mays #305

Centering, the fish eye in the name box, and that one top corner make an impact but some points are saved by good focus and image.

Centering immediately drops this cards eye-appeal to the B tier. Noticeable corner wear along with some light wear and some print issues drop this one down to the C tier.

Centering and the upper right (viewed horizontally) corner are the big issues. Some print issues in the name box as well.

Good looking card, just the centering top to bottom is very noticeable and the top left corner is folded in.

The centering is the loud flaw that does make significant impact to the eye appeal, followed by the print dot in his nameplate and some corner wear. That said, strong registration and a clean image apply the brakes at the C+ band for my taste.

Some surface issues that affect the face. Centering L/R is off.

This card is really about the centering. The colors and image are good. But do not POP. The card has minor surface wear but minimal to me. But the centering and odd border sizes effects how the card is framed and that draws it down
