A BOB PORTERFIELD from the 1956 TOPPS set, card #248. This is a great addition to any BOSTON RED SOX collection.
Graded by Mint Condition: 4
The final grade is primarily limited by the moderate rounding on the top corners. While the surface quality and vertical centering are quite high for the era, the combination of corner wear and the significant horizontal centering shift aligns with a mid-grade condition.
Centering: 6 / 10
The front displays a significant horizontal shift toward the left edge, while vertical centering is nearly ideal.
Corners: 3 / 10
Front: The Top Left and Top Right corners show moderate rounding and whitening. The bottom corners remain relatively sharp with only minor touches of wear. Back: Rounding and whitening are present on the top corners of the reverse side, consistent with the front.
Edges: 8 / 10
Front: The edges are generally clean, with some minor chipping and slight roughness visible along the top edge. Back: The back edges show light signs of shelf wear and minor chipping on the gray card stock.
Surface: 9 / 10
The front surface presents very well with vibrant colors and no significant scratches or creases.
