Opinions on this card please!

I have been looking for this card and finnally found it except it does not have the best eye appeal for me and Im not sure if my eyes are playing tricks on me or not but does this card have a tilt or weird cut on the right side?

That is a very weird cut on the right side.

nightcrawler

Definatly looks cut at an angle IMO.

and5zac

right border looks a little wider top to bottom.

Definitely not a tilt .... usually the opposite side would have made up for it.

Looks like a trim job .... or very bad factory-cut.

I know nothing about 52 Bowmans FB, but I wonder if this is a common problem with this issue?

Having self-identified the flaw, your eyes will be drawn to it every time you look at it. That glass will always be half empty.

For that reason, I'd pass.

It sucks because I have been searching for this card! Not manny things are worse in the card collecting world then when you find a card that doesnt come around too often and its got a major flaw ( In my eyes )

Im not sure what I will do but thanks for the input.

PoppaJ- This type of flaw is not very common with the 52 Large issue as far as I know- I have prolly looked at close to a thousand of these in various condition in the past year or so and havnt seen many like this-if at all. These cards are notorious for being OC but this one looks like a bad factory cut.

you need the card?? get the card...
then upgrade it... at least you will feel somewhat satisfied

rexvos

not a handsome 7, but he did go to LSU, that should weigh heavy in your decision.

DavidPuddy

You can always upgrade later.
That being said, it looks like someone took a pair of scissors to the right side

I would pass if I were you. I used to always grab the first card that came along after a long search, even though I didn't like it. You're going to be looking to upgrade as soon as you get it, and it will be a drag on your set until you find a suitable replacement.

It takes discipline to wait longer for the more satisfactory card, but it will save you money, frustration, and will be all the sweeter when you finally land "the big one."

Yup.

Patience is a good thing.

I don't know the set all that well - but IMO that's a marginal 7 - and I agree with those who call for patience.

I pass on tons of 63F's due to centering issues - keep searching - the right one is waiting with "your name" on it!

Without a doubt I would pass. If you buy it you will think about why you did everytime you look at it. Hopefully another will come along soon.

trimmed
fake
cracked holder
other than that nice card

cardbender

Bad factory angle cut. Other than that, it has nice eye appeal for a 7 other than the right edge. I would hold out for a better copy. Upgrading can be a pain. Better to be patient.
