A BOBBY GENE SMITH from the 1957 TOPPS set, card #384. This is a great addition to any ST. LOUIS CARDINALS collection.
Graded by Mint Condition: 7
This is a high-grade vintage card with exceptional surface preservation. The final grade is primarily limited by the centering shift toward the top-left and minor corner touches.
Centering: 7 / 10
The front design is positioned closer to the top and left edges, resulting in uneven border widths.
Corners: 7 / 10
Front: The Top Left and Top Right corners show minor touches of wear and very slight whitening. The bottom corners remain sharp. Back: Minor touches of white are visible on the top corners of the reverse side, consistent with the front.
Edges: 8 / 10
Front: The edges are generally clean with a slight rough-cut appearance on the top edge that is typical for vintage factory production. Back: The edges on the back show minor chipping in a few spots but remain structurally sound.
Surface: 10 / 10
Front: The surface is remarkably clean for a vintage issue, with strong color and no visible scratches or creases. Back: The back surface is pristine, with clear text and no signs of staining or marking.
