A SAM WEST from the 1940 PLAY BALL set, card #22. This is a great addition to any WASHINGTON SENATORS collection.
Graded by Mint Condition: 3
This card presents in a condition typical for a mid-grade vintage piece. The grade is primarily limited by the significant rounding on all four corners and the general softening of the edges. While the centering is shifted toward the left, the overall surface integrity is well-preserved for a card of this age.
Centering: 7 / 10
The front has a clear left-heavy centering shift, while the vertical alignment remains excellent.
Corners: 3 / 10
Front: All four corners show significant rounding and softening, which is characteristic of handled vintage cards from this period. Back: The reverse corners show uniform rounding that matches the wear seen on the front.
Edges: 4 / 10

Surface: 5 / 10
Front: The surface displays natural age-toning and a few tiny foxing spots, but it is free from major creases. Back: The back shows typical toning for 1940s card stock, with clear, legible text and no significant staining.
