Nice centering for a 1

Like the bold borders and the close centering and even cleanliness of the borders. The white speckling is to much as it effects the image and coloring

A high C+ which is high performance for a 1. Shout out to the centering and there being no major wrinkles. Less scuff and this was a B- for me.

I like the centering and it certainly over-delivers in eye appeal relative to most 1s. The abrasions on the chin, thankfully that avoided his facial features, yet were that wear lower or on the bat, that would have been ideal. As is, that aspect does take down the eye appeal a few notches. This is a nice, solid 1, end of the day.
