A BOB HOPKINS from the 1957 TOPPS set, card #53. This is a great addition to any SYRACUSE NATIONALS collection.
Graded by Mint Condition: 4
This 1957 Topps card presents as a standard mid-grade vintage example. While it boasts very respectable centering on the front for a card of its age, the grade is limited by the consistent rounding and whitening observed on all four corners, alongside typical edge wear.
Centering: 9 / 10
Front: Centering on the front is very strong, with nearly perfect side-to-side balance and a modest top-heavy shift. Back: The reverse is significantly shifted toward the top edge, which is common for this vintage issue.
Corners: 3 / 10
Front: All four corners show moderate rounding and visible whitening to the paper stock, with the bottom corners being the most affected. Back: The corners on the reverse mirror the wear seen on the front, showing significant softening and light fraying.
Edges: 5 / 10
Front: The edges exhibit light chipping and consistent wear, particularly along the Left and Top edges. Back: Minor chipping and shelf wear are visible along the perimeter of the reverse side.
Surface: 7 / 10
The surface is generally clean with some light print snow and age-appropriate toning, but no major scratches or creases.
