A BOB MABE from the 1960 TOPPS set, card #288. This is a great addition to any BALTIMORE ORIOLES collection.
Graded by Mint Condition: 7
This vintage 1958 card displays exceptional physical condition, highlighted by its sharp corners and a pristine surface that lacks the typical wear for its age. While the front centering is respectable for the era, the final grade is primarily influenced by the significant centering shift on the reverse side.
