Mine is a 1961 Gentile that used to be a 9PD. I cracked it though and resubbed it several times trying to get a straight 8. I keep getting a 7. The snow is very, very light though and the card is perfectly centered which is impossible for that card. I keep it in my collection even though I have an 8 just because it's such an outstanding example.
Wish I had a better scan of this one here on my work computer, since this one cuts off the bottom, but the T/B centering isn't all that bad - one of my favorites!

That is pure gold. Very cool. Cards with a story make me much happier than razor sharp vintage any day; this card's story matches its origins.

Who cares about centering when a card is that "pack fresh"??
Anyone with a digital measuring tool that wants to verify that the Gretzky is worse than 70/30, their efforts would be appreciated.
BaltimoreYankee: Nice Carlton. Somehow, T/B doesn't look as bad on a horizontal (landscape) card.
Postscript: I downloaded that jrule tool. I came up with 68.6/31.4. Should be a straight 8.
