A ELMER VALO from the 1952 TOPPS set, card #34. This is a great addition to any Philadelphia Athletics collection.
Graded by Mint Condition: 3
This vintage card is primarily graded based on a severe manufacturing miscut at the top edge where the border is absent. Combined with significant rounding on all corners and general edge wear, it maintains a consistent appearance for a mid-tier vintage specimen.
Centering: 3 / 10
The vertical centering is severely compromised, with the top border missing entirely. Horizontal centering is reasonably good.
Corners: 4 / 10
Front: All four corners show significant rounding and softening of the card stock, with noticeable whitening visible at the tips. Back: The back corners mirror the front with heavy rounding and visible wear to the edges.
Edges: 5 / 10
Front: The edges show moderate chipping and general wear, particularly along the bottom and right sides. Back: Noticeable shelf wear and minor fraying are present along all four edges of the reverse side.
Surface: 7 / 10
Front: The surface shows typical age-related toning and minor print defects but remains free of major creases. Back: The back surface has consistent browning due to age but the text and statistics remain legible.
