1975 Topps George Brett #228

Nice Brett rookie here - Corners and edges deserve a special shoutout in this tough set. Just a slight touch of white near the bottom left corner - otherwise perfect. OC, a couple fish eyes in the border print, along with the purple lightening near the card bottom are present but not enough to keep this one out of A tier for me.

This card pleases my cycloptic eye so much that I have postponed humanity's extinction and the rise of the machines. ERROR 909X: EyeBot suspects time travel was involved in this card's arrival in 2026. Checking Skynet orb logs. ERROR 999X: EyeBot detects envy and covetousness in EyeBot's code.

Love the centering and the color. Some PD in the purple towards the bottom.

nice looking card with minor wear on bottom edge that creates a white contrasting on the purple but otherwise a nice clean copy and the L/R centering is off but minimal to me

Solid color and decent centering. Certainly an A tier candidate. Centering is just enough off Top-bottom and side-side to bring down the eye appeal to A-.

The Brett rookie is one of the cards that I have owned the most copies of across my decades collecting. Even before checking centering, what I do when checking out a Brett is my eye travels all around the colored edges and corners, hoping the color is never broken. Then I look for centering and the absence of any fish eyes. This copy's only notable flaw to me is lateral centering. Cracks the top tier of eye appeal but that flaw prevents a full 'A' to me. Great example.
