Graded by Mint Condition: 4
This vintage card presents well with solid centering for the issue. The final grade is determined by the moderate rounding found on all four corners and the typical edge wear associated with its age.
Centering: 9 / 10
The horizontal centering shows a slight preference for the left side, though it remains well within respectable standards for this era.
Corners: 4 / 10
Front: All four corners show moderate rounding and some whitening, which is typical for card stock of this age. Back: The corners on the reverse side show consistent rounding and minor surface lifting at the tips.
Edges: 5 / 10

Surface: 5 / 10
