A DUKE CARMEL from the 1960 TOPPS set, card #120. This is a great addition to any ST. LOUIS CARDINALS collection.
Graded by Mint Condition: 9
This vintage rookie card presents in outstanding condition. While the corners and edges are near-perfect, the final grade is determined by the presence of characteristic print spotting on the front surface and the off-center alignment toward the bottom-right.
Centering: 9 / 10
Front: The front centering is shifted toward the bottom-right, though it remains well within respectable standards for a vintage issue. Back: The reverse centering is heavily shifted toward the left edge, though this does not significantly impact the overall condition assessment.
Corners: 9 / 10
Front: All four corners are impressively sharp for a card from 1960, showing only the most microscopic touches of wear. Back: The corners on the reverse are well-defined and show excellent structural integrity.
Edges: 9 / 10
Front: The edges are very clean, with only a light amount of the natural roughness typical of vintage card stock. Back: The edges on the back are crisp and free of any significant chipping or fraying.
Surface: 8 / 10
The surface is bright and free of creases, though there is a fair amount of print spotting or 'snow' visible in the yellow background fields.
