A BOB HALE from the 1956 TOPPS set, card #231. This is a great addition to any Baltimore Orioles collection.
Graded by Mint Condition: 3
This vintage card presents in Good condition. Its final assessment is limited by a combination of severe vertical centering on the front, significant rounding across all four corners, and a prominent cluster of surface stains near the player's portrait.
Centering: 3 / 10
The vertical centering is heavily biased toward the top edge, resulting in a near-sliver border. Horizontal centering is much better but still favors the left side.
Corners: 3 / 10
Front: All four corners show significant rounding and softening. The Top Right corner is particularly worn with visible fraying of the card stock. Back: The reverse corners show moderate to heavy rounding and whitening, consistent with the wear observed on the front.
Edges: 5 / 10
Front: The edges show widespread micro-chipping and minor fraying, most notably along the top and left sides. Back: The edges on the back show typical age-related wear and light chipping throughout.
Surface: 3 / 10
A cluster of dark stains or surface deposits is present near the center of the card. The surface also exhibits general age-toning and a few minor scuffs.
