A SAM CHAPMAN from the 1949 BOWMAN set, card #112. This is a great addition to any PHILADELPHIA ATHLETICS collection.
Graded by Mint Condition: 2
The final grade is heavily restricted by the prominent dark ink stain on the upper center of the reverse side. While the front presents beautifully with exceptional centering and light corner wear, the back surface defects limit the overall grade.
Centering: 10 / 10
Front: The front border alignment is virtually dead-on centered horizontally and vertically. Back: The reverse side has a very slight alignment shift toward the top-left.
Corners: 2 / 10
All four corners show moderate softening at the tips, typical of a well-preserved vintage card, with the Top Right corner showing the most visible fiber wear.
Edges: 6 / 10
The reverse edges show moderate toning and light fraying, with the left edge displaying the most noticeable wear.
Surface: 3 / 10
The reverse surface is heavily impacted by a dark, prominent ink stain near the top center over the script name, along with a secondary stain near the bottom left edge.
