A JOE NIEKRO from the 1972 TOPPS set, card #216b. This is a great addition to any DETROIT TIGERS collection.
Graded by Mint Condition: 7
This card presents in exceptional physical condition with sharp corners and clean surfaces that would normally command a higher grade. However, the vertical centering on both the front and back is significantly off-center, which limits the final grade.
Centering: 7 / 10
The front displays a significant top-to-bottom shift and a moderate left-to-right shift.
Corners: 9 / 10

Edges: 9 / 10
Front: The right edge shows a minor rough factory cut common to this set, while the other edges are smooth. Back: The edges on the reverse are remarkably clean with no significant chipping or wear.
Surface: 10 / 10
Front: The surface is excellent, featuring high gloss, vibrant colors, and no print defects or scratches. Back: The reverse surface is clean, bright, and free of any staining or wax marks.
