A FRANK BAUMANN from the 1963 TOPPS set, card #381. This is a great addition to any CHICAGO WHITE SOX collection.
Graded by Mint Condition: 6
This card displays excellent surface quality and sharp corners for a 1963 vintage issue. However, the final grade is primarily constrained by a significant top-heavy vertical centering shift on the front.
Centering: 6 / 10
The top border is significantly thinner than the bottom border, resulting in a top-heavy presentation. Horizontal alignment is excellent.
Corners: 8 / 10
Front: The Top Right and Bottom Right corners show very minor touches of wear. The left corners remain remarkably sharp for a vintage issue. Back: Light whitening is visible at the corner tips, consistent with standard storage wear for this card's age.
Edges: 8 / 10
Front: The edges are generally clean, with only very slight roughness visible along the Left edge. Back: The edges on the reverse side show minor chipping along the top and right, common for 1960s card stock.
Surface: 9 / 10
The surface is clean with vibrant colors and no visible scratches. Only minor, era-typical print snow is present in the darker areas.
