A PAUL DERRINGER from the 1939 PLAY BALL set, card #15a. This is a great addition to any CINCINNATI REDS collection.
Graded by Mint Condition: 3
The final assessment is primarily driven by the significant rounding of the corners and moderate edge wear. Although the card possesses exceptional centering for a 1939 Play Ball issue, the presence of a light surface crease and substantial corner wear place it in the Very Good condition range.
Centering: 9 / 10
The front centering is quite strong, with nearly symmetrical top and bottom borders.
Corners: 2 / 10
Front: All four corners exhibit significant rounding and wear, which is typical for a card of this era. Back: The back corners show substantial rounding and softening, mirroring the wear seen on the front.
Edges: 5 / 10
Front: Moderate chipping and minor fraying are visible along all four edges, with the bottom edge showing the most wear. Back: The back edges display consistent vintage wear and small nicks across the perimeter.
Surface: 5 / 10
A faint diagonal crease is visible near the top left portion of the card, accompanied by standard age-related toning.
