A DALE LONG from the 1955 TOPPS set, card #127. This is a great addition to any PITTSBURGH PIRATES collection.
Graded by Mint Condition: 7
This 1956 Topps Dale Long is in superb overall condition. While its corners, edges, and surface all suggest a much higher grade, the final score is limited to a 7 due to the left-to-right centering on the front.
Centering: 7 / 10
The front shows a significant shift toward the left border, with the right border being much wider.
Corners: 9 / 10

Edges: 9 / 10
Front: The edges are extremely clean and straight with no visible chipping or fraying. Back: The edges on the back are well-preserved and show no signs of handling wear.
Surface: 9 / 10
