A JOE NIEKRO from the 1972 TOPPS set, card #216b. This is a great addition to any DETROIT TIGERS collection.
Graded by Mint Condition: 4
This is a remarkably well-preserved vintage card with high-end corners, edges, and surface quality. The grade is primarily limited by the significant horizontal centering shift on the front, which qualifies for an off-center designation.
Centering: 3 / 10
The front displays a pronounced horizontal shift toward the right, resulting in a very thin right border. Vertical centering also slightly favors the bottom.
Corners: 10 / 10
Front: All four front corners are exceptionally sharp and retain their original factory points with no visible wear. Back: The corners on the reverse side are similarly pristine, showing no signs of rounding or whitening.
Edges: 9 / 10
The edges are very straight and clean, with just a hint of natural factory roughness along the right edge.
Surface: 10 / 10
Front: The surface is vibrant and clean, with no evidence of scratches, print defects, or creases. Back: The reverse surface is well-preserved with clear text and no staining or marks.
