A FRANK BAUMHOLTZ from the 1955 TOPPS set, card #172. This is a great addition to any CHICAGO CUBS collection.
Graded by Mint Condition: 5
This card is a well-preserved mid-grade vintage example. While the colors are bright and the surface is relatively clean, the grade is primarily limited by the moderate rounding on all four corners and the noticeable centering shift toward the top left.
Centering: 6 / 10
The front design is shifted toward the top and left edges, creating a wider border on the bottom and right.
Corners: 4 / 10
Front: All four corners show moderate rounding and softening consistent with handled vintage cards. Back: The corners on the reverse side exhibit matching levels of rounding and shelf wear.
Edges: 7 / 10
Front: The edges remain fairly straight but show minor chipping and typical rough-cut artifacts from the factory. Back: The back edges show light touches of wear and minor white chipping along the colored sections.
Surface: 8 / 10
Front: The surface is generally clean with vibrant colors, though some minor print snow and a faint vertical print line are visible. Back: The back surface shows natural age-related toning but is free from major staining or marks.
