A JOHNNY EVERS from the 1940 PLAY BALL set, card #174a. This is a great addition to any CHICAGO CUBS collection.
Graded by Mint Condition: 2
While the card retains its central image and legible text, the grade is primarily limited by major physical damage. The large chip and paper loss at the Top edge, combined with heavy corner rounding and significant centering shifts on the reverse, place this card in the Poor category.
Centering: 7 / 10
The borders are noticeably thinner on the left and top sides of the card.
Corners: 3 / 10
Front: All four corners exhibit moderate to heavy rounding consistent with significant handling and age. Back: The corners on the reverse show similar softening and wear as the front, with no sharp points remaining.
Edges: 1 / 10
Front: A major physical defect is present on the Top edge, consisting of a large chip and paper loss. Other edges show standard vintage wear and minor chipping. Back: The significant tear and paper loss at the center of the Top edge is clearly visible on the reverse side as well.
Surface: 2 / 10
Front: The surface shows natural vintage toning and aging. The primary issue is the structural damage at the top edge which extends into the surface area. Back: The reverse surface displays age-related yellowing and some minor staining, alongside the significant structural tear at the top.
