A GAIR ALLIE from the 1955 TOPPS set, card #59. This is a great addition to any PITTSBURGH PIRATES collection.
Graded by Mint Condition: 7
This vintage card is in excellent condition, boasting strong surfaces and edges that have retained their integrity over decades. While the centering on the front favors the top-right, it falls within acceptable limits for a high-grade assessment. The minor corner wear is the primary factor limiting the grade from a higher tier.
Centering: 7 / 10
The front centering is shifted toward the right and top, though it remains well-balanced for a vintage issue.
Corners: 8 / 10
Front: The Top Right and Top Left corners show very minor touches of rounding and micro-fuzz. The bottom corners remain relatively sharp. Back: Minor touches and slight whitening are visible on the corner tips, consistent with light handling.
Edges: 8 / 10
Front: The edges are largely clean, with only a few tiny nicks and minor chipping visible along the top border. Back: The reverse edges show light, uniform shelf wear consistent with a well-preserved vintage card.
Surface: 10 / 10
Front: The front surface is exceptional, featuring bright colors and a smooth finish with no visible scratches or creases. Back: The reverse is remarkably clean and free of the common wax or gum stains typically found on cards from this era.
