A GENE ALLEY from the 1969 TOPPS set, card #436. This is a great addition to any PITTSBURGH PIRATES collection.
Graded by Mint Condition: 8
This card is in phenomenal physical condition, characterized by razor-sharp corners and pristine surfaces that are rare for the era. The technical grade is primarily limited by the vertical centering shift toward the top edge on the front face.
Centering: 7 / 10
The front centering is quite good from left to right, but the top border is visibly thinner than the bottom.
Corners: 10 / 10
Front: The front corners are exceptionally sharp and well-preserved, showing no signs of rounding or touch-up wear. Back: All four corners on the reverse side maintain their original sharp points and color.
Edges: 10 / 10
Front: The edges are clean and smooth, exhibiting no chipping or factory rough-cut issues. Back: The edges on the back are pristine with no visible fraying or wear.
Surface: 10 / 10
Front: The surface is remarkably clean for a vintage card, with vibrant color and no visible print defects or scratches. Back: The back surface is free of any stains, wax marks, or other common age-related flaws.
