A FRANK BAUMHOLTZ from the 1955 TOPPS set, card #172. This is a great addition to any CHICAGO CUBS collection.
Graded by Mint Condition: 6
This card presents with exceptional surface quality and sharp corners for a 1954 issue. However, the final grade is limited by the significant vertical centering shift on the front.

The front displays a pronounced shift toward the top, with the bottom border being significantly thicker than the top.

Edges: 8 / 10

Surface: 9 / 10
Front: The surface is excellent, retaining strong color and gloss with no visible creases or significant print defects. Back: The reverse surface is clean and bright, showing only expected light age-toning.
