A ELVIN BETHEA from the 1970 TOPPS set, card #43. This is a great addition to any HOUSTON OILERS collection.
Graded by Mint Condition: 7
This is a very high-quality vintage example with excellent surface preservation and sharp edges. The grade is primarily limited by the vertical centering on the front and some very minor corner touches typical of the 1970 Topps set.
Centering: 7 / 10
The horizontal centering is quite good, while the vertical centering is shifted toward the bottom.
Corners: 8 / 10
Front: The Top Left and Bottom Left corners show very minor touches of wear. The right corners remain quite sharp. Back: Minor softness is visible on the Top Left and Bottom Left corners, consistent with the front.
Edges: 8 / 10
There is some very light roughness along the right edge, which is common for card stock of this age.
Surface: 9 / 10
Front: The front surface is excellent, with bright colors and no visible scratches or print defects. Back: The back surface is clean and free of the common wax stains often found on cards from this era.
