A WALTER BECK from the 1940 PLAY BALL set, card #217. This is a great addition to any PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES collection.
Graded by Mint Condition: 4
The final grade is primarily determined by the moderate rounding and whitening of the corners and the consistent chipping found along the edges. While the surface is remarkably well-preserved for a vintage issue, the corner and edge wear place it in the Very Good range.
Centering: 7 / 10
The card exhibits a moderate horizontal shift toward the left side, though the top and bottom borders are even.
Corners: 3 / 10
Front: All four corners show moderate rounding and visible whitening consistent with the card's age. Back: The corners on the reverse side show rounding and wear matching the condition of the front.
Edges: 5 / 10
Front: Minor chipping and light fraying are visible along all four edges. Back: The edges on the back exhibit consistent wear and small nicks typical for this era.
Surface: 8 / 10
Front: The surface displays natural age-toning and a few small spots, but it remains free of any creases. Back: The reverse shows expected vintage toning and minor surface marks while retaining clear text.
