A BOB SKINNER from the 1955 TOPPS set, card #88. This is a great addition to any PITTSBURGH PIRATES collection.
Graded by Mint Condition: 7
This is a high-quality vintage card held back primarily by its centering. While the corners, edges, and surfaces are in exceptional condition, the significant shifts on both the front and back limit the final assessment to a Near Mint grade.
Centering: 7 / 10
The image is shifted toward the top left, resulting in thinner borders in those areas.
Corners: 9 / 10
Front: The corners are remarkably sharp for a vintage issue, with only the slightest hint of wear on the top tips. Back: The back corners appear clean and well-defined with minimal evidence of handling.
Edges: 10 / 10
Front: All four edges are straight and free from the chipping often seen on 1950s card stock. Back: The reverse edges are smooth and well-preserved.
Surface: 10 / 10
Front: The front surface is bright with no visible scratches or creases. Back: The card back is clean with no stains or ink marks, showing only natural light age-toning.
