A CLIFF MAPES from the 1952 BOWMAN set, card #13. This is a great addition to any DETROIT TIGERS collection.
Graded by Mint Condition: 5
This card presents excellently due to its nearly perfect centering and high surface quality. However, the final grade is limited by moderate rounding on the corners and noticeable chipping along the back edges.

Surface: 9 / 10
Front: The front surface is very well-preserved, featuring vibrant colors and minimal print defects. Back: The back shows typical light toning from age but is free of any significant staining or markings.
