Grade Of, The Real One.

That's what I noticed..Goudey's are(or seem to be) graded lenient.

As they say "Buy the Card" ...Not the holder.

BINGO!

That is always true!

If that is indeed a sufrace blemish and not a mole (which is what I assumed it was) then a 4 is more appropriate as that is about the top grade SGC allows for that. The corners do show some wear, nothing terrible for a card that's 72 years old, but they do have wear. The edges are very good and probably warrant a NM grade. The corners are 3.5-6 IMO, and the centering is 7.5-8. Overall though, the eye appeal is terrific, and it's weird how good the centering actually is LR but how much it looks way off center. If you measure it out it's actually right about 61/39 but it looks worse than that which is why I would have allowed for the 1/2 grade deduction overall. The back centering is very good as well. So, like I said in my original post, if that is a surface blemish, or if there is a surface wrinkle we can't see (which never show up in scans) then a 4 is probably fair. If however thats a mole and the surface and gloss are good then I think it's undergraded. Either way, I think it's a great looking card.

:new_llyin Good description, well done.
For the mole this and "original" one!like the face of Don Mossi.!
By the way, the description on back is french/english and some are english only (Canadian I mean) ...why ?....

The 1933 World Wide Gum cards were sold in Canada. The 1933 Goudey were sold in the states. That's probably what you are referring to. They look the same but have a French/English counterpart.

Hope that helps.
