A WILLIE RICHARDSON from the 1970 TOPPS set, card #246. This is a great addition to any BALTIMORE COLTS collection.
Graded by Mint Condition: 7
This is a beautiful example of a vintage card that is held back only by its vertical centering. The surface, edges, and corners are all in near-pristine condition, but the top-heavy shift on the front limits the overall technical grade.
Centering: 7 / 10
The front displays a heavy vertical shift toward the top edge, while the left-to-right alignment is quite strong.
Corners: 9 / 10
Front: All four corners are remarkably sharp for a card of this age, with only the faintest hint of micro-fuzz visible under magnification on the Top Right corner. Back: The back corners are equally impressive, showing virtually no wear except for a minuscule touch on the Top Right corner.
Edges: 9 / 10
Front: The edges are clean and well-preserved, exhibiting the natural slight roughness characteristic of the original factory steel-rule cut. Back: The back edges appear crisp and free of chipping or storage wear.
Surface: 10 / 10
Front: The front surface is exceptional, retaining vibrant color, high gloss, and a clean image free of scratches or print defects. Back: The back surface is pristine, with no signs of wax staining, ink marks, or surface abrasions.
