A CHUCK DIERING from the 1951 BOWMAN set, card #158. This is a great addition to any St. Louis Cardinals collection.
Graded by Mint Condition: 3
This 1951 Bowman card presents in Very Good-Excellent condition. The grade is primarily determined by the moderate rounding of the corners and the general edge wear consistent with a card of this age. While the centering is slightly off on the front, the overall eye appeal remains strong due to the vibrant colors and clean reverse.
Centering: 7 / 10
Front: The front centering is shifted toward the right, resulting in a noticeably wider left border. Back: The reverse of the card is exceptionally well-centered for the era, appearing nearly perfect.
Corners: 3 / 10
Front: All four corners exhibit moderate rounding and softening, which is typical for handled vintage cards from this era. Back: The corners on the reverse show similar wear to the front, with visible rounding and minor touches of whitening.
Edges: 5 / 10
Front: The edges show light chipping and general wear, most noticeable along the Top and Right edges. Back: The back edges display some shelf wear and light chipping, particularly on the Right edge.
Surface: 4 / 10
The surface maintains good color and clarity, though a thin semi-circular mark or indentation is visible near the nameplate.
