A MEL QUEEN from the 1972 TOPPS set, card #196. This is a great addition to any CALIFORNIA ANGELS collection.
Graded by Mint Condition: 7
While the card's physical condition is exceptional with sharp corners, clean edges, and a perfect surface, the overall grade is limited by the centering. The significant bottom shift on the front and severe leftward bias on the back are the primary factors in this assessment.
Centering: 6 / 10
The vertical centering is noticeably bottom-heavy, while horizontal alignment remains well-balanced.
Corners: 10 / 10
Front: All four corners on the front are sharp and show no signs of wear or rounding. Back: The reverse corners are crisp and maintain their original sharp points.
Edges: 10 / 10
Front: The front edges are cleanly cut and free of any chipping or fraying. Back: The edges on the back are well-preserved with no visible signs of handling wear.
Surface: 10 / 10
Front: The front surface is extremely clean, featuring vibrant colors and no visible scratches or print marks. Back: The back surface is bright and free of any stains, wax marks, or aging issues.
