1959 Topps Bob Gibson #514

Creasing is pretty heavy and includes a significant crease across his face. Centering shifts are fairly heavy as well and a slight tilt.

The eye immediately detects the two creases and the centering is off enough to distract as well. Even with the flaws it still hold a level of appeal for the obvious lower grade due to the creases.

Great color but obvious creasing

Creases, centering and corner wear all present. Great colors thought and a sharp image.

Darn it. Multiple creases and surface wear hurt this example and saddly i cannot ignore it. The color and image are good but compromised

Good image but colors don't quite pop. Multiple surface creases.

Checks in with eye appeal that is just a tick above average, as the centering and creasing are notable, yet only the crease through his chin demands constant attention from the eye. Very strong focus, as the image on the Gibson rookie can often be blurry. A solid example. Given the wear, the old "one stranger opinion" numerical system would probably say 1-2 out of 10, which would be an F. Yet my eye sees stronger visual appeal.
