The Score on Ray Corbin – 5.0
Ray used a thin marker on this one which goes well with the size of his signature. I think the problem is that the marker seems to be on the dry side and it didn’t come out really strong. Sometimes that is a problem on busy images with the thin markers in general. That’s kind of how it came out on the 1975 Topps card.
Thanks Mr. Corbin! I’m giving this return a 5.
