A SANDY ALOMAR from the 1972 TOPPS set, card #253. This is a great addition to any CALIFORNIA ANGELS collection.
Graded by Mint Condition: 7
This is a beautiful Near Mint specimen with technical subgrades that mostly reach into the Mint range. The final grade is restricted by the vertical centering on the front, which sits at a roughly 65/35 ratio, preventing a higher assessment despite the superior corner and surface preservation.
Centering: 7 / 10
The vertical centering is weighted toward the bottom, while horizontal alignment is quite strong.
Corners: 9 / 10
Front: Corners are exceptionally crisp for a vintage issue, with only the slightest touch of microscopic wear visible on the Bottom Right. Back: The reverse corners maintain excellent structural integrity with sharp tips and minimal whitening.
Edges: 9 / 10
Front: Edges are very clean with a sharp factory cut and no significant chipping or nicking. Back: The edges on the reverse are well-preserved, showing only natural light handling consistent with a high-grade specimen.
Surface: 9 / 10
The surface is vibrant and free of scratches, though a very faint vertical print line is visible in the background gray area.
