Buy the card and not the grade movement - Page 4

@Sluggerrr - Thank you! It is paper loss, not whiteout. I was also wondering as well.

@raddoc25 -- Thanks, makes me feel better. My first four figure vintage purchase, was hesitant to buy it online without seeing it in hand. Taking a chance, paying a few hundred dollars to gain few thousand dollars in eye appeal seemed worthwhile. Factoring the premium charged for Mantles locally in NY at shows/shops, I felt it wasn't too bad of a price.

I think I posted this card in another thread a long time ago, but it makes sense here. I bought this card raw. I thought it would get a 5, but oh well. Set is so obscure it doesn't matter much.

Any thoughts on the color and registration on this? On a scale of 1-10? Looks good to me but I can’t help to feel something is a little off, that’s why I am asking others that might have a better eye. Thanks.

Damn, how do you make the picture bigger?

You can't do it as an attachment. You have to upload it to something like Flickr, make sure you edit it (I do 750 on one side) then copy and paste the BBC code they give you.
