A BOB SPEAKE from the 1956 TOPPS set, card #66. This is a great addition to any Chicago Cubs collection.
Graded by Mint Condition: 3
This vintage specimen is limited primarily by a significant manufacturing shift on the reverse and moderate rounding across the corners. While the front surface and color remain excellent, the accumulation of corner wear and the severe back centering place it in the Very Good range.
Centering: 3 / 10
The front image is shifted slightly to the right, though it remains within professional standards for the era.
Corners: 4 / 10
Front: The Top Right and Bottom Right corners show moderate rounding and visible whitening. The left corners exhibit minor touches and light rounding. Back: All four corners show rounding and shelf wear, with more pronounced whitening visible on the Right side corners.
Edges: 6 / 10
Front: The top and bottom edges show light chipping and minor fraying consistent with a card of this vintage. Back: Minor chipping is visible along the edges, particularly on the right side where the cut is tight.
Surface: 8 / 10
Front: The surface is well-preserved with vibrant colors and no visible creases. A few minor print dots are present in the upper field. Back: The reverse shows natural age-related toning but remains clean and free of heavy staining or writing.
