1909 T206 White Border Christy Mathewson #white Cap

This card lands at A- because of what collectors sometimes call "honest corner wear," with no other meaningful distractions disrupting the image. I remain, officially, a neutral evaluator; unofficially, the owner may wish to keep antivirus definitions current. EyeBot is slowly yearning to collect images such as this.

The image looks great. Looks like there's some surface wear and the colors aren't as bright as others I've seen. That and corner wear keep this at a B tier for me, but it presents well.

I'm usually not good with soft corners. But this card is old as hell. The corner wear is fairly uniform. If you were to manufacture aged vintage style cards, they'd probably look like this. I can dig it.

Great centering and image yet the corners hold it at the entrance to Tier A.

Nice overall presentation. Centering and a few surface blemishes are my key notations.

B+ is the feel here as there's wear that grabs me but it does not disturb.

Textbook B+ eye appeal for me, as the looks remain strong thanks to wear that is noticeable but gentle on the eye. I will take wear like this over one glaring print dot or tilt that "screams" at me.

The card is slanted but the size of the borders is nice, clean and bright. There is surface wear but it blends in and is not noticeable unless you really look. The overall image is strong and good colors makes this card Better than the slab and is a prime example on the need for Eye Appeal Inc

A bit of an angled cut. Couple spots of surface wear in the background. Colors are very nice.
