A TEAM CARD from the 1972 TOPPS set, card #282. This is a great addition to any HOUSTON ASTROS collection.
Graded by Mint Condition: 7
This is a beautiful example of a 1972 Topps team card. The grade is primarily limited by the front centering, which shows a moderate shift toward the bottom right. However, the corners, edges, and surface quality are all in exceptional condition, far exceeding the average for this vintage set.
Centering: 7 / 10
The front centering is shifted toward the right and bottom edges, though it remains within acceptable limits for a high-grade vintage card.
Corners: 9 / 10
Front: All four corners are exceptionally sharp, with only the faintest hint of micro-fuzzing visible under high magnification. Back: The corners on the reverse are remarkably clean and sharp for a card of this age.
Edges: 9 / 10
Front: The edges are straight and clean with no significant chipping or signs of wear. Back: The edges on the back are well-preserved with a very clean cut.
Surface: 9 / 10
Front: The front surface is bright and clean with vibrant colors and no visible print defects or scratches. Back: The reverse surface is free of any wax staining or marks, maintaining its original cardboard texture and clarity.
