A GENE ALLEY from the TOPPS set, card #436. This is a great addition to any PITTSBURGH PIRATES collection.
Graded by Mint Condition: 7
The card exhibits outstanding corners, edges, and surface quality for its vintage era, but the final grade is restricted by the heavy horizontal centering shift on the reverse.
Centering: 6 / 10
Front: Front centering is horizontally off-center, with the left border noticeably wider than the right border. Back: Back borders are well balanced, with no significant centering deviation detected.
Corners: 9 / 10
Front: All four corners remain exceptionally well preserved and sharp, displaying only microscopic factory cut texture at the tips. Back: The reverse corners are remarkably crisp and retain their intended factory shape with negligible wear.
Edges: 9 / 10
Front: All four edges are crisp and clean with virtually no visible chipping. Back: The reverse edges show clean cardboard cut lines with minimal fiber softening.
Surface: 9 / 10
Front: The front surface features bright colors, solid gloss, and no physical creases or scratches. Back: The reverse surface is clean and free of wax residue, staining, or print defects.
