A CHARLIE BISHOP from the 1953 TOPPS set, card #186. This is a great addition to any PHILADELPHIA ATHLETICS collection.
Graded by Mint Condition: 4
This vintage card presents well but is primarily limited by moderate wear and rounding on all four corners. The edges also show typical chipping for the era, and the centering is noticeably shifted toward the top edge on both sides. Despite these factors, the surface remains attractive and free of major defects.

The front displays a pronounced shift toward the top edge, though side-to-side centering is quite good.
