A ED MATHEWS from the 1959 TOPPS set, card #450. This is a great addition to any Milwaukee Braves collection.
Graded by Mint Condition: 4
This vintage card shows impressive physical preservation, featuring vibrant colors and strong surface quality. However, the final grade is significantly restricted by manufacturing centering; both the front and back are heavily shifted, which is common for this era but limits the technical condition.
Centering: 3 / 10
The front design is positioned heavily toward the Top Right, resulting in thin borders at those edges.
Corners: 8 / 10
Front: The corners are relatively well-preserved for a vintage issue, with only a minor touch of wear visible on the Top Left corner. Back: The back corners show light fuzzing consistent with the age of the card stock, particularly at the top.
Edges: 8 / 10
The edges remain fairly clean, though some typical vintage roughness is visible along the Right edge.
Surface: 9 / 10
Front: The front surface presents very well with bright colors and a clean finish, free of creases or notable scratches. Back: The reverse surface is clean and the text is sharp, showing no signs of staining or damage.
