I have 2 of the same year examples and was wondering which is better or more sought after for collecting for their respective conditions? Neither are refurbs they are what we call "as issued" or "original" or whatever adjective you use to describe non-refurbs.

Nope, no photos go off my description please, if you would like to participate. Thanks to those who do.

If selling both and getting a nice one is not an option  ;) I picked #1. Personal preference, as it'll look a bit better to me especially with a smaller billboard.

I would prefer # 1, and you asked us to vote for the one that is “least attractive “, hence my vote for # 2

Aw man, We got hit with a trick question. Totally missed the 'least' in the poll question so would have to change my answer to #2.

Thanks guys. I'm going to try and trade the 2nd one I think in hopes of obtaining a nice '52 equal to what I have. Appreciate your time.
