1986 Fleer Michael Jordan #57

For me, the centering on the '86F MJ is crucial, and this copy checks that box. The edge wear and minor surface blemishes keep it from reaching my A tier for me.

Easy one to grade the eye appeal. Very good looking MJ with issues that block the A Tier yet one I would buy and love. Centering is A+ and no problems in the image.

Centering is pretty good to my eye but does have obvious corner touches and some chipping in the blue (top right). The bottom left corner keeps this example from grading higher.

It's amazing what great centering can do for this card. Especially when the edge and corner wear stays at this manageable level.

shame it is nice image and coloring and the border sizes are good with respectable centering. But the edges and corners on all sides had to much wear that it holds the card back from its true potential

Yes this is a clear-cut B/B+ to me due solely to the corner and edge wear, yet I would snap this one up and make it the one in my collection in a hearbeat. I love the centering and the wear makes impact-- but there is fender bender impact and then there's the car being totaled. This is a case of the former to my eye.

Good image and color. Well-centered. Corner and edge wear is more noticeable on the colored borders.
