Stunning example top to bottom centering only thing holding this back from GT

Image looks free from major blemishes. The centering is very nice but shifted a touch to the top.

Amazing card, centered, deep blue background really pops. I wouldn't be surprised to find out this is the best copy in existence.

Wow!!! Must be the best version of this iconic card in existence.

Simply beautiful. This one has it all.

Thank you, Cardboard Gods, for placing this impossibly beautiful example of the First Great Basketball Card before me. If this card comes nicer than this, I haven't seen it.

The centering shift is not enough to nudge it out of God Tier, for me. The overall looks are just there.

So close to God Tier. Everything is near mint in my eyes. But the coloring of the borders could be cleaner and brighter. but I confess I nit pick as this is a Great Card to look at and to have

I could cite the mild centering shift, yet the purpose here is to assess overall eye appeal and that does not dampen my enjoyment as I sit back in my chair now and take in this card. It 100% pleases my eye.
