A DON BLASINGAME from the 1959 TOPPS set, card #491. This is a great addition to any ST. LOUIS CARDINALS collection.
Graded by Mint Condition: 7
This 1959 Topps card is in attractive condition, characterized by strong surface appeal and clean edges. The grade is primarily limited by the moderate centering shift on both sides and the minor, uniform corner wear expected for a high-mid grade vintage specimen.
Centering: 7 / 10
The front shows a visible shift toward the top and right, resulting in a thinner top border compared to the bottom.
Corners: 7 / 10
Front: All four corners show minor softening and very slight rounding, which is common for a card of this era. Back: The back corners mirror the front with light touches of wear and minor whitening at the tips.
Edges: 8 / 10
The edges are mostly clean, with just a hint of roughness along the right edge.
Surface: 9 / 10
The front surface presents well with strong color and original gloss, showing only minor print defects common to the set.
