A MAX CAREY from the 1940 PLAY BALL set, card #178a. This is a great addition to any BROOKLYN DODGERS collection.
Graded by Mint Condition: 2
This vintage card's condition is primarily defined by a significant structural tear and heavy horizontal crease on the left edge. These defects, combined with heavily rounded corners on both sides, result in a technical grade that reflects a card with major handling wear and compromised integrity.

The front has a minor left-heavy shift, while vertical centering is nearly balanced.

Edges: 2 / 10
