The WOW factor. The colors here are indicative of a Pedigree copy. Just look at that stark contrast between the dark and light lavender in the art at the bottom, and how boldly the gray divides those two colors. The yellow, greens, etc.; fresh as the day printed. It's an exceptional 7.5, thus 8.0 overall, IMO. But, list it on ebay and the eye appeal will warrant a result one full grade better than the market value of the CGC label grade it gets! allthingskryptonite, RPHjr7, 1950's war comics and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only when you've seen a large number of these over the years will you fully realize how exceptional the colors, thus paper quality is. Enjoy it, it's a rare beauty.
