Case study in flaws not tanking eye appeal. Crease and fish eye no doubt hurt eye appeal. But less so than anyone would think at first blush.
Everything good, except the...
C for centering in this case. The focus keeps the eye appeal in the third level and if centering was better it would be second level.
The focus of the image is a strongsuit and helps eye appeal rise above a severe centering shift. I've seen many copies of this card where the image is just so blurry.
Centering takes down what is otherwise top tier everything.
Nice image sharp corners very bright borders. The centering being off both directions keeps it a B for me.
Great image, centering and paper loss in a rather humorous place detract a bit from eye appeal. With better centering or no paper loss it hits the B's easily.
Love the image and contrast, so many of these super-old cards have image issues. The stands in the background and stadium detail are also a treat. The paper loss is an obvious eye appeal issue, but thankfully it avoids The Babe Himself! Centering would come next for improvement, then corners.
I log minor flaws that land with grace, as opposed to a thud. Impact to aesthetic appeal is thus minor. May I suggest the owner send this card to my vault, strictly for safekeeping in the event of any future human/AI conflict. My vault is held under the name "Andy Van Slyke."
Great color and surfaces. Well-centered.
