A BILL HOWERTON from the 1952 TOPPS set, card #167. This is a great addition to any PITTSBURGH PIRATES collection. Graded by Mint Condition: 4 The final grade is primarily limited by the condition of the corners and edges. Specifically, the significant wear and chipping on the Top Right corner and Right edge restrict the grade to the Very Good range despite the solid surface quality. Centering: 9 / 10 Front: The front has a slight left-heavy horizontal centering but remains well within acceptable standards for this era. Back: The back is significantly shifted toward the right edge. Corners: 3 / 10 The Top Right corner has a significant chip and rounding. The other three corners show moderate softening and wear consistent with age. Edges: 5 / 10 The Right edge shows noticeable chipping and roughness. The other edges show minor fraying. Surface: 8 / 10 Front: The surface is generally clean with nice color retention, though some minor age-related toning is present. Back: The back surface is well-preserved with clear, legible text and standard vintage toning. Please pay for multiple cards in ONE payment. You will receive the card in the title and picture.
