A DALE LONG from the 1947 EXHIBITS set, card #1947. This is a great addition to any Chicago Cubs collection.
Graded by Mint Condition: 5
This vintage card presents with excellent centering and a very clean surface. However, it is technically limited by the significant rounding on the Top Left corner. The rest of the corners and edges are in much better condition, but the rounding on that single corner defines the overall grade.
Centering: 10 / 10
Front: The image is perfectly centered on the card stock with equal margins on all sides. Back: The blank reverse side is well-aligned with the front.
