A JOE GORDON from the TOPPS set, card #216. This is a great addition to any CLEVELAND INDIANS collection.
Graded by Mint Condition: 5
The overall grade is primarily governed by the pronounced left-to-right centering bias on the front, while the corners and surfaces remain in remarkably sharp condition for a vintage card.
Centering: 6 / 10
Front: Front centering is horizontally off-center, with the right border substantially wider than the left border. Back: Back borders are well balanced, with no significant centering deviation detected.
Corners: 4 / 10
Front: Top Left corner exhibits the most noticeable wear with light tip softening, while the remaining corners show only faint micro-wear typical of the era. Back: Top Right corner displays light softening at the tip, with the remaining corners remaining relatively crisp and intact.
Edges: 8 / 10
Front: Bottom edge shows slight fibrous roughness consistent with standard vintage factory cutting. Back: Edges on the reverse are well preserved with only minor natural cardboard fiber texture along the bottom edge.
Surface: 9 / 10
Front: The front surface is clean with strong gloss and color; the faint horizontal line in the background to the left of the player is part of the original ballpark photo, not damage. Back: The back surface is exceptionally clean with bold text, uniform unprinted cardstock, and no wax staining or writing.
