1948 Leaf Spahn. Which card would you rather have?

I own the PSA 5 and would like to upgrade, just not sure if this PSA 6 is any better. Thoughts?

Maybe the PSA 6 would look better with another scan.

    the snow under his nose on the 6 really bothers me.

    I'd rather have the 5 and $200 to spend on something else. Cards are basically the same to me, and with these scans the 5 looks better. But if you decide on the 6 let me know and I'll take that 5 off your hands!

    I would keep the 5 that pops. For a slight upgrade in centering, you'd lose some registration and clean borders. The 6 is noticeably more yellowed/browned, even taking into account the different scanner (compare the white in the PSA label on both to get an idea of how much is from the card vs. scanner).

    Keep the 5. It presents much better than the 6.

    The 5 for me. Colors are more vibrant and the border is not as pale/dull as the 6.

    NO WAY, IMO, is that "6" worth twice the price of that "5". Keep the "5" and buy something else with the $225.00.
    STAY HEALTHY!
