1951 TOPPS RED BACKS ELMER VALO 28 VG-EX MCG 4 BASEBALL PHILADELPHIA ATHLETICS

A ELMER VALO from the 1951 TOPPS RED BACKS set, card #28. This is a great addition to any PHILADELPHIA ATHLETICS collection.

Graded by Mint Condition: 4

This vintage specimen is limited by significant rounding on all four corners and moderate edge wear. While the surface colors remain attractive, the physical rounding and the centering shift on the reverse side cap the grade at a mid-range level.

Centering: 7 / 10
Front: The front displays a noticeable shift toward the bottom edge, though horizontal alignment is quite good. Back: The reverse side has a heavy shift toward the right edge and a moderate top-heavy alignment.

Corners: 3 / 10
Front: All four corners exhibit moderate rounding and soft tips, which is typical for a card from the early 1950s. Back: The back corners mirror the front's condition with uniform rounding and light touches of whitening.

Edges: 5 / 10
Front: The edges show general shelf wear, with a notable nick and some roughness along the bottom border. Back: Edge wear is consistent with the front, showing some minor chipping and light fraying on the bottom edge.

Surface: 8 / 10
Front: The surface is clean with strong colors, showing only minor age-related toning and no visible creases. Back: The red ink remains vibrant and the surface is free of major scratches or staining.
