A FRANK HAYES from the 1940 PLAY BALL set, card #24. This is a great addition to any PHILADELPHIA ATHLETICS collection.
Graded by Mint Condition: 4
This vintage card is in respectable condition, defined primarily by moderate corner rounding and a noticeable right-side centering shift on the front. While the surface and edges show typical wear for a 1940s issue, the rounding on all four corners limits the technical grade.
Centering: 6 / 10
The horizontal centering shows a heavy shift to the right, though the vertical alignment is nearly perfect.
Corners: 4 / 10
Front: All four corners show moderate rounding and some minor fraying of the card stock, typical for a card of this age. Back: The corners on the reverse exhibit rounding and softening consistent with the front.
Edges: 5 / 10
Front: Light chipping and fraying are visible along the edges, with the right edge showing the most wear. Back: The edges show moderate wear and minor fiber fraying throughout.
Surface: 6 / 10
Front: The surface exhibits some light age-toning and minor print spots, but it remains free of major creases. Back: The back has uniform yellowing from age and a few small stains, which is expected for this vintage stock.
