A CLIFF MELTON from the 1940 PLAY BALL set, card #83. This is a great addition to any NEW YORK GIANTS collection.
Graded by Mint Condition: 4
This vintage card presents well with high-end centering, but the grade is limited by the heavy rounding on all four corners and significant surface toning on the reverse. The physical wear is consistent with a well-preserved collector's copy from the early 1940s.
Centering: 9 / 10
The front displays excellent symmetry, with a very slight bias toward the top and left edges.
Corners: 3 / 10
Front: All four corners exhibit significant rounding and softening. There is visible whitening and paper wear at every tip. Back: The reverse corners mirror the front, showing heavy rounding and clear signs of age-related wear.
Edges: 5 / 10
The edges show moderate chipping and light fraying, which is typical for card stock of this era.
Surface: 5 / 10
The reverse shows heavy natural toning and a noticeable area of darker discoloration on the left side.
