A HAL SCHUMACHER from the 1940 PLAY BALL set, card #85. This is a great addition to any NEW YORK GIANTS collection.
Graded by Mint Condition: 4
While the card boasts exceptional centering for a 1940 issue, the overall grade is determined by significant corner rounding and heavy edge wear. The surface shows expected aging without catastrophic damage, placing it in a Very Good condition category.
Centering: 10 / 10
Front: The front borders are very well-proportioned and nearly perfectly centered. Back: The reverse shows a slight top-heavy shift, which is common for this set.
Corners: 3 / 10
Front: All four corners exhibit significant rounding and visible softening consistent with a well-circulated vintage card. Back: Rounding and light paper loss are evident across all four corners on the reverse side.
Edges: 5 / 10
Front: The edges show moderate fraying and small nicks, particularly along the top border. Back: Consistent wear and light chipping are present along the perimeter of the back.
Surface: 5 / 10
Front: The surface displays natural age-toning and general handling wear, though it remains free of major creases. Back: Uniform aging and minor surface scuffing are visible across the back, but the text remains fully legible.
