A portrait of Billy Nattress before a solid sky blue background adorns this beautiful example from the T206 set. Centering is nearly perfect, just slightly east on the canvas here. Rounded corners with some minor chipping in the lower left corner are consistent with the grade, which is further explained by some smudges, possibly from glue residue, in the lower right corner and along the bottom border. The back has early signs of foxing and more light smudges, but is overall very nice. PSA has only ever graded 11 total examples of this El Principe de Gales back version of the Nattress, with only three receiving a higher grade than the VG 3 offered here.
