My best card that has a qualifier

What's yours? Too bad someone wanted to document Willie's All-Star status on this one

    One of the guys I work with has a Clemente rookie where the kid who sorted his cards for him years ago wrote his first initial on the cards.

    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.

    Who cares about centering when a card is that "pack fresh"??

    That's some mark on the Mays. Still a very nice card. Here is my best qualifier card:

    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.

    Love that Mays! At least the MK is related to Willie's career and not just initials or something.

    Got lots of them, but this is my pride and joy. I even like it with the mark because it is in Spanish! Adds to the provenance.

    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.
