A ARTHUR J. GORE from the 1955 BOWMAN set, card #289. This is a great addition to any UMPIRE collection.
Graded by Mint Condition: 5
The grade is primarily limited by the card's centering, which shows a heavy horizontal shift on both the front and reverse. Additionally, light corner softening and a faint vertical print line on the reverse surface prevent a higher grade.
Centering: 6 / 10
Front centering is horizontally off-center, with the left border substantially wider than the right border.
Corners: 4 / 10
Front: The Top Left corner shows a touch of light softening, while the remaining corners are remarkably sharp and square. Back: The Top Left corner shows light wear and a hint of paper softening at the tip.
Edges: 8 / 10
The top and bottom edges show very light chipping of the woodgrain print design, which is highly typical for this vintage issue.
Surface: 8 / 10
The reverse is clean and free of staining, though a faint vertical print line runs down the right portion of the card.
