Collector Notes
Key issues to watch for: (1) Centering is a major concern — many copies are off-center left-to-right or top-to-bottom, which can severely impact grade. (2) The Victory set used lower-grade card stock, making surface scratches and print defects common. (3) Corner wear is prevalent on unprotected copies. (4) Collectors should verify authenticity when buying graded slabs due to the card's high value. (5) This is considered a 'budget' Brady rookie compared to the SP Authentic #254 auto, but it remains a cornerstone Brady RC. Always look for sharp corners, clean surface, and tight centering when evaluating raw copies.
