A FRED WHITFIELD from the TOPPS set, card #518. This is a great addition to any CINCINNATI REDS collection.
Graded by Mint Condition: 5
The card exhibits exceptional corner sharpness and clean surfaces for a vintage card, but the grade is limited by moderate off-center alignment on both sides.
Centering: 6 / 10
Front: Front centering is horizontally off-center, with the left border substantially wider than the right border. Back: Back borders are well balanced, with no significant centering deviation detected.
Corners: 4 / 10
Front: All four corners are exceptionally well preserved for a vintage issue, with only minor touch of fiber softening at the tips. Back: Bottom Left corner shows the slightest touch of microscopic wear while the remaining corners stay crisp.
Edges: 8 / 10
Front: Right edge shows minor factory-cut roughness typical for the era, but edges remain clean and free of significant chipping. Back: All four edges are solid and clean with minimal vintage wear.
Surface: 8 / 10
Front: The front surface is clean with strong gloss; the vertical element over the right shoulder is a stadium light tower in the original photo, not a stain. Back: Surface is well preserved with bright cardboard stock, showing only a tiny minor print dot near the bottom edge of the stat box.
