A CHET NICHOLS from the 1961 TOPPS set, card #301. This is a great addition to any BOSTON RED SOX collection.
Graded by Mint Condition: 5
This card is graded a 4 due to the combination of moderate corner rounding and significant centering shifts on both sides. While the surface remains in impressive condition for a 1961 issue, the physical wear to the corners and the registration of the print limit the overall grade.
Centering: 6 / 10
The front displays a pronounced shift toward the top right edge, resulting in a very thin top border.
Corners: 4 / 10
Front: All four corners show moderate rounding and visible whitening consistent with handled vintage stock. Back: The corners on the reverse show wear and blunting that mirrors the condition seen on the front.
Edges: 6 / 10
Front: Chipping and light fraying are present along the right and top edges. Back: The edges on the back show uniform age-related wear and minor chipping.
Surface: 8 / 10
The surface is generally clean with strong color, though minor print snow is visible in the upper background.
