A EARL BALFOUR from the 1954 PARKHURST set, card #25. This is a great addition to any TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS collection.
Graded by Mint Condition: 4
This vintage card presents well but is held to a mid-range grade due to moderate rounding on all four corners and a vertical centering shift. The surface remains very solid for its age, lacking the heavy creases often found in this set.
Centering: 7 / 10
The front design is positioned higher than center, creating a thin top border and a thick bottom border.
Corners: 3 / 10
Front: All four corners show moderate rounding and visible whitening typical of vintage card stock. Back: The corners on the reverse mirror the rounding and wear seen on the front.
Edges: 5 / 10
Front: The edges show minor chipping and rough-cut fraying, especially along the left side. Back: Natural shelf wear and light chipping are visible along the perimeter of the back.
Surface: 8 / 10
Front: The surface shows pleasant age-toning and minor print spotting but is free of any distracting creases. Back: The back is clean with uniform toning and no significant stains or ink marks.
