A BILLY MARTIN from the 1971 TOPPS set, card #208. This is a great addition to any DETROIT TIGERS collection.
Graded by Mint Condition: 7
This 1971 Topps card is in outstanding condition, particularly given the fragility of the black-bordered design. With high-quality surfaces and sharp corners, the final grade is primarily limited by the front vertical centering shift.
Centering: 7 / 10
Front: The horizontal framing is excellent, while the vertical centering shows a moderate shift toward the top edge. Back: The reverse displays a top-heavy shift, though it remains within acceptable thresholds for the era.
Corners: 9 / 10
All four corners are impressively sharp for this sensitive issue, with only the slightest evidence of micro-wear visible under high magnification.
Edges: 8 / 10
The delicate black edges are well-preserved, showing only minor white chipping along the top and bottom borders typical for the 1971 set.
Surface: 9 / 10
The surface is clean with strong gloss and minimal print defects, presenting an exceptionally sharp image.
