A DON FERRARESE from the 1959 TOPPS set, card #247. This is a great addition to any CLEVELAND INDIANS collection.
Graded by Mint Condition: 5
The final grade is primarily limited by the condition of the corners, which show moderate rounding and whitening consistent with a Very Good-Excellent assessment. While the centering and surface are relatively strong for a card from 1959, the physical wear to the corner tips sets the overall ceiling.
Centering: 9 / 10
The front displays a modest horizontal shift toward the right edge, while the top and bottom borders are well-balanced.
Corners: 4 / 10
Front: All four corners show visible rounding and minor whitening. The Top Right corner exhibits the most significant wear. Back: The reverse corners mirror the front, with clear rounding and touch-of-white wear throughout.
Edges: 7 / 10
Front: The edges show minor chipping and shelf wear consistent with a card of this era, particularly along the top edge. Back: The reverse edges show slight fraying and minor chipping visible against the darker printed areas.
Surface: 8 / 10
Front: The surface is generally clean with good color retention. There is some minor 'print snow' common for 1959 Topps, but no major creases or scratches. Back: The back shows typical light age-toning. The text and graphics remain clear and legible without any staining or pen marks.
