A CORKY VALENTINE from the 1955 TOPPS set, card #44. This is a great addition to any CINCINNATI REDLEGS collection.
Graded by Mint Condition: 5
This vintage card presents well with high eye appeal, but the grade is primarily limited by the moderate rounding present on all four corners. The centering is within acceptable limits for the era, and the surface remains well-preserved without major flaws.
Centering: 7 / 10
The front shows a noticeable left-leaning horizontal shift, though vertical centering is quite strong.
Corners: 4 / 10
Front: All four corners exhibit moderate rounding and visible whitening from handling and age. Back: The reverse side shows similar corner wear, with rounding and exposure of the underlying card stock on all four points.
Edges: 6 / 10
Moderate chipping is visible along the edges of the reverse, particularly the right edge.
Surface: 8 / 10
Front: The surface is remarkably clean for a vintage issue, with only minor age-related toning and a few tiny print marks. Back: The reverse surface shows uniform light toning but remains free of major stains or creases.
