A AL DOWNING from the 1964 TOPPS set, card #86. This is a great addition to any NEW YORK YANKEES collection.
Graded by Mint Condition: 5
The grade is limited to a 7 primarily due to the vertical centering offset on the back of the card, which slightly favors the top border, despite the front centering, corners, and edges being in outstanding near-mint condition.
Centering: 9 / 10
The front displays strong centering, with only a minor offset favoring the right and bottom borders.
Corners: 4 / 10
The reverse corners are very clean, with just the slightest hint of microscopic fiber softening on the Bottom Left corner tip.
Edges: 9 / 10
Front: All front edges are remarkably crisp and free of the chipping or wear common to this year's issue. Back: The reverse edges are very clean, with almost no notable chipping along the orange borders.
Surface: 9 / 10
Front: The front surface is clean and bright, with excellent colors and no notable print defects or scratches. Back: The reverse surface is well-preserved, showing strong ink saturation and no typical wax stains.
