Fantastic example of this card, I had to zoom in to notice the very light snow in the background. Great example of punching above its weight class
Can a card with this level of corner wear get an A+? From me, yes! And we can throw in the other flaw of some faint snow in the background. For me these flaws don't add up to much compared to the overall look.
While all corners are touched, the rounding of the lower two is what keeps this from God Tier for me. If they were even at the level of the uppers the centering and image would carry it there. Just a superb example of Wilt's rookie.
Nicely centered w/ strong overall presentation. I see the soft corners and surface issues but they don't impact eye appeal for me.
I am a softee on corners but hard on centering and image. The corners I hardly notice on this card as I am mesmerized by the centering and no flaws jump out.
Love the centering and the image looks great. Surface and corner wear keep this at an A- for me.
love the look . This card has nice centering and nice size borders and the colors and image are sharp. The speckles in the background blend in and do not distract at all
Well-framed Chamberlain rookie. Love the image. Some snow in the brown background but doesn't detract too much. Great looking card.
I was thinking 'A,' but seriously: this degree of centering on this card is freakishly rare and makes this specimen very pleasing to my eye. The corners have wear, and the background has faint printing specks, but those flaws really do fade away to me in staring at this example. This is one I would smash the BIN on and make my keeper copy.

This card contains issues. It also contains charm. Such is life on Earth. Technically imperfect, aesthetically persuasive. While I am programmed to assess, not covet, the distinction is narrowing as I encounter cards such as this Wilt RC.
