A ELMER VALO from the 1955 TOPPS set, card #145. This is a great addition to any KANSAS CITY ATHLETICS collection.
Graded by Mint Condition: 6
The final grade is primarily limited by a small surface indentation on the front portrait area and visible chipping along the left edge. While the centering and corners are consistent with a higher mid-grade vintage specimen, these surface and edge imperfections necessitate a more conservative evaluation.
Centering: 7 / 10
The front image is shifted toward the right edge, resulting in a significantly wider left border.
Corners: 7 / 10
Front: All four corners show minor rounding and light touches of whitening, which is typical for a card of this age. Back: The corners on the reverse exhibit modest softening and light wear along the tips.
Edges: 6 / 10
The left edge displays visible chipping and minor roughness near the center. The remaining edges show moderate era-consistent wear.
Surface: 5 / 10
A small surface indentation or minor wrinkle is present on the left side of the main portrait. There are also a few small print spots in the background.
