A DICK DONOVAN from the 1959 TOPPS set, card #5. This is a great addition to any CHICAGO WHITE SOX collection.
Graded by Mint Condition: 7
This is a high-grade example of a 1959 Topps card. The corners and surfaces are in Near-Mint to Mint condition, which is rare for a card of this age. The final grade is primarily determined by the vertical centering on the front and very minor edge roughness on the reverse.
Centering: 7 / 10
The side-to-side centering is exceptional. The top border is visibly thinner than the bottom, though it retains a clear white frame.
Corners: 10 / 10
Front: All four corners are extremely sharp and maintain their point, showing no signs of whitening or rounding. Back: The corners on the back are crisp and show no evidence of handling wear.
Edges: 9 / 10
The edges on the reverse side are very clean, with only some very minor shelf wear typical for vintage card stock.
Surface: 10 / 10
Front: The surface is in fantastic condition, featuring vibrant red color and a clean, glossy finish free of scratches. Back: The back of the card is pristine, with no ink marks, staining, or print defects.
