Help grading a Ernie Banks rookie

arex

So this card has been offered to me and I wanted to get the boards opinion on the grade of the card. I have not seen it in hand but the seller says it is wrinkle/crease free. Thanks for the help everyone!

Cant tell if its a paper loss or stain on the lower right edge, but am thinking a 2. Looks slightly shaved at the top, but might just be the angle of the pic

2-3
Looks like it may have slight warping or maybe just bent. Either way... I like it! I still need to get one.

I agree with the 2 possibility. Ernie has a great rookie card and this one presents well. Doug

I'll second this. Nice card regardless

I think it'll be between a 2 or 3 with a ST qualifier. Bottom right and inbetween his cap and the border has a stain looks like.

3(ST) or straight 2.

I try to grade it before looking at the other comments and I said a 3. Looks like most agree as well.

I'm thinking altered stock as a possibility. The side view looks like it is compressed in the middle and wavy towards the ends. I am guessing between that and the stain by Ernie's hat that this card may have been wet or at least damp in the last 60+ years. It should still have 2-3 value based on appearance, but I don't think that it may be given a # grade. Having the card in hand would be much easier to tell based on feel.

I agree with this guy who agreed with the other guys that 2nd the original agreement.
