A BOB PURKEY from the 1957 TOPPS set, card #368. This is a great addition to any PITTSBURGH PIRATES collection.
Graded by Mint Condition: 8
This card is in excellent condition for its era. The primary limiting factor is the significant centering shift on the reverse side, which brings the overall grade down slightly despite the sharp corners and clean surface.
Centering: 9 / 10
Front: The front shows a clear leftward shift, though the vertical alignment is nearly perfect. Back: The back centering is significantly shifted toward the right edge.
Corners: 8 / 10
Front: The Top Left corner shows a very minor touch of wear. The remaining corners are remarkably sharp for a vintage card. Back: Very light whitening is visible on the Top Right and Bottom Left corners under close inspection.
Edges: 9 / 10
The edges are clean with only minor factory-typical roughness visible along the Right edge.
Surface: 8 / 10
The surface is well-preserved with light print snow consistent with the 1957 production era.
