1940 PLAY BALL PETE APPLETON 128a VG-EX MCG 4 SAVE THESE CARDS CHICAGO WHITE SOX

A PETE APPLETON from the 1940 PLAY BALL set, card #128a. This is a great addition to any CHICAGO WHITE SOX collection.

Graded by Mint Condition: 4

This vintage card presents well for its age but is held to a mid-grade level due to the moderate rounding of the corners and consistent edge wear. The centering and surface quality are strong for a 1940 issue.

Centering: 7 / 10
The front displays a notable shift toward the bottom edge, though centering remains within acceptable limits for a vintage issue.

Corners: 3 / 10
Front: Both bottom corners exhibit significant rounding and wear. The top corners are softer than original factory edges. Back: The corners show rounding consistent with the front, particularly visible on the bottom edge where the card stock has softened.

Edges: 5 / 10
Front: All edges show visible chipping and minor nicks, typical of the rough-cut stock used in the 1940s. Back: Moderate wear and slight fraying are present along the perimeter, most noticeably on the right edge.

Surface: 8 / 10
Front: The sepia-toned surface is well-preserved with no major creases, though minor print spotting is present. Back: The reverse shows natural age-toning but the text remains sharp and legible without any staining.
