A CHICO RUIZ from the 1965 TOPPS set, card #554. This is a great addition to any CINCINNATI REDS collection.
Graded by Mint Condition: 8
This is an outstanding example of a 1965 vintage card. It maintains a high level of condition across all categories, with the primary limiting factor being the vertical centering on the reverse and minor touches on the corner tips.
Centering: 9 / 10
Front: The front centering is quite high-end, showing a slight preference toward the top and right edges. Back: The centering on the reverse shows a more significant shift toward the top edge.
Corners: 8 / 10
Front: The corners are remarkably sharp for the era, with only the Top Right corner showing a microscopic touch of wear. Back: The corners on the reverse show minor whitening at the tips but remain structurally sound.
Edges: 8 / 10
The edges are clean and straight with minimal signs of chipping along the Top and Right sides.
Surface: 10 / 10
Front: The surface is pristine with excellent color registration and no scratches or print defects observed. Back: The back surface is exceptionally clean and lacks the typical wax staining found on cards of this age.
