A ELVIN TAPPE from the 1955 TOPPS set, card #129. This is a great addition to any CHICAGO CUBS collection.
Graded by Mint Condition: 7
This vintage 1954 card is in exceptional condition, featuring vibrant orange hues and sharp registration. The final grade is determined by the significant centering shift on the reverse and minor softening on the front corners.
Centering: 9 / 10
Front: The front centering is well-maintained for a vintage issue, showing a slight bias toward the right and bottom. Back: The reverse centering is heavily shifted toward the left edge, which affects the overall technical assessment.
Corners: 7 / 10
The top corners show light softening and minor touches of whitening. The bottom corners remain relatively crisp.
Edges: 8 / 10
Front: The edges are generally clean, though a few minor chips and a slightly rough vintage cut are visible along the top edge. Back: The edges present well, with only slight chipping visible on the narrower left border.
Surface: 10 / 10
Front: The surface maintains excellent color registration and original gloss with no visible scratches or creases. Back: The reverse surface is clean with typical light age-related toning and no significant defects.
