A ELSIE LOANE from the 1888 N27 set, card #N27.
Graded by Mint Condition: 3
The overall grade is primarily determined by the moderate rounding on the corners and the prominent surface stain on the reverse. While the front image remains exceptionally crisp and colorful for a card from the 1880s, these structural defects define the condition as a well-handled vintage piece.
Centering: 3 / 10
The horizontal centering is excellent, while the vertical alignment shows the image shifted significantly toward the top border.
Corners: 4 / 10
Front: All four corners show moderate rounding and minor fiber wear, typical of a vintage card of this age. Back: The corners on the reverse side exhibit rounding and light toning consistent with the front.
Edges: 6 / 10
Front: The edges show light wear and minor nicks, though they remain relatively smooth for the era. Back: Minor chipping and light toning are visible along the perimeter of the reverse side.
Surface: 4 / 10
A prominent circular stain is located in the center of the card, and a faint mark is visible near the top left.
