A BUDDY GILBERT from the 1960 TOPPS set, card #359. This is a great addition to any CINCINNATI REDS collection.
Graded by Mint Condition: 4
The grade is primarily limited by a circular surface abrasion with light paper loss on the center of the reverse. Significant off-center alignment on the reverse also prevents a higher grade, despite the front face presenting in exceptionally clean condition.
Centering: 7 / 10
Front centering is vertically off-center, with the bottom border noticeably wider than the top border.
Corners: 4 / 10
Front: Top Right corner shows the most noticeable softening and light wear, while the other corners remain relatively crisp. Back: All four corners are exceptionally clean and well-preserved with only microscopic touches of fiber softening.
Edges: 8 / 10
Front: All four edges are crisp and straight with only a minor touch of factory-cut roughness on the left edge. Back: Edges are remarkably sharp with minor chipping visible on the top edge near the corner.
Surface: 5 / 10
Center of the reverse shows a noticeable circular scuff with light paper loss next to the cartoon character, along with a small dark ink stain near the bottom edge.
