A DEL RICE from the 1952 Topps set, card #100. This is a great addition to any St. Louis Cardinals collection.
Graded by Mint Condition: 3
This 1952 Topps Del Rice is a classic vintage example limited primarily by significant rounding on all four corners and a heavy vertical centering shift toward the top. While the card maintains respectable surface integrity and bold colors, the cumulative wear to the corners and edges places it in a solid Very Good condition category.
Centering: 3 / 10
The front displays a moderate shift to the right and a severe shift toward the top edge, where the border is very thin.
Corners: 3 / 10
Front: All four corners show significant rounding and visible wear consistent with a mid-grade vintage card. The Top Right corner has more pronounced whitening. Back: The back corners mirror the rounding seen on the front, with noticeable touches of whitening and softening of the card stock.
Edges: 5 / 10
Front: The edges show standard vintage chipping and minor roughness, particularly along the right side. Back: Moderate shelf wear and minor chipping are visible along the top and left edges of the reverse side.
Surface: 5 / 10
The back shows typical light staining and uniform toning across the cardboard stock, common for this era.
