A DON NELSON from the 1969 TOPPS set, card #82. This is a great addition to any Boston Celtics collection.
Graded by Mint Condition: 4
This card presents exceptional physical condition for its age regarding its corners, edges, and surface. However, the final grade is strictly limited by the severe centering issues, which near the point of a miscut on both the front and back. Due to the high quality of the other subgrades, this card is a prime candidate for an off-center qualifier.
Centering: 3 / 10
The front is heavily shifted toward the right, with the orange oval design sitting very close to the physical edge. The top border is also considerably thinner than the bottom.
Corners: 8 / 10
Front: The corners are remarkably sharp for a card of this era, showing only micro-fuzzing on the Bottom Right corner. Back: Most corners remain sharp, with a minor touch of whitening visible on the Top Right corner.
Edges: 8 / 10
The edges are straight, though the right edge is compromised by the extreme off-center cut.
Surface: 8 / 10
The surface is free of creases, though it displays light, natural age-toning consistent with its vintage.
