A DON CARDWELL from the 1970 TOPPS set, card #83. This is a great addition to any NEW YORK METS collection.
Graded by Mint Condition: 7
This card possesses high-end physical characteristics, including sharp corners and clean surfaces that suggest a much higher grade. However, it is fundamentally limited by a significant manufacturing miscut on the reverse and severe centering on the front, which necessitates a lower technical grade.
Centering: 6 / 10
The front displays a pronounced downward shift, leaving a very narrow bottom border.
Corners: 10 / 10
Front: All four corners on the front are remarkably sharp and well-defined for a vintage card. Back: The corners on the reverse remain crisp and free of any visible whitening or rounding.
Edges: 9 / 10
Front: The edges are extremely clean, showing only the natural light texture of the era's card stock. Back: Aside from the manufacturing alignment, the physical edges are smooth and free of chipping.
Surface: 10 / 10
Front: The front surface is bright and clear, with no visible scratches, print snow, or surface indentations. Back: The back surface is exceptionally clean, lacking the common wax stains often associated with this set.
