Hello TCDB Members,
Which card condition would you choose for your collection and why?
Left Card: Sharp corners, centered front, image is blurry and way out of register, back is slightly off-center.
Right Card: Slightly fuzzy corners, centered front, lightly creased, image is very clear and in register, back is centered.
I'm kinda hung up between the two. In spite of the wear on the corners and the crease, the clearer image is drawing me to the Right Card. What do you think?

I'm going to reevaluate how I collect after the new year. It's just getting way too expensive for the new stuff. Sometimes I just want to buy a pack, not a whole box or even blaster.

Right. I can't do the blurry photo.

I take the card on the left side. I can't live with cards having creases.

If you click on the image it will open in another window and the proportions are correct.
For me personally, I'd take the card on the left as I see damage such as the crease more of a turn off than a bad print photo.

Open Edit on your post. Double-click the image. Set the image width to no more than 600.

Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them.

For future posts, is there a way for me to make sure the proprtions are correct in the post itself? I thought I had the aspect ratio locked on the image when I posted. Maybe not! Thank you.

Card on right. It's all about the print (image) quality.
