A CARLTON FISK from the 1972 TOPPS set, card #1972. This is a great addition to any Boston Red Sox collection.
Graded by Mint Condition: 7
This 1972 rookie card is in exceptional physical condition, boasting sharp corners and very clean surfaces that suggest a high degree of preservation. However, the overall grade is primarily constrained by the off-center alignment on the front of the card.
Centering: 7 / 10
Front: The front displays a noticeable shift to the right, leaving the left border considerably wider. Back: The back centering is slightly off-center both horizontally and vertically but remains well within acceptable limits for the era.
Corners: 9 / 10
Front: All four corners are remarkably sharp and well-defined, showing almost no evidence of wear or softening. Back: The corners on the reverse side are similarly crisp, maintaining their original shape and point.
Edges: 9 / 10
Front: The edges are extremely clean, lacking the chipping or rough-cut edges often found in cards from this set. Back: The reverse edges are smooth and well-preserved, with no significant fraying visible.
Surface: 9 / 10
Front: The surface is bright and clean with no signs of scratches or creases; minor factory print dots are the only imperfections. Back: The back is very clean, showing no signs of wax staining or aging, which is excellent for a card of this vintage.
