A GENE BAKER from the 1959 TOPPS set, card #238. This is a great addition to any PITTSBURGH PIRATES collection.
Graded by Mint Condition: 7
This is a high-grade vintage example with excellent eye appeal. The primary detractions are a vertical centering shift and minor corner wear visible under close inspection, both of which are common for the 1959 issue.
Centering: 9 / 10
The front displays a vertical shift toward the top border, though horizontal centering is quite strong.
Corners: 7 / 10
Light touches of whitening and minor rounding are present on the Top Right and Bottom Left corners.
Edges: 8 / 10
Front: Edges are well-preserved, showing only the slight roughness typical of vintage factory cuts along the Left edge. Back: The reverse edges show light, consistent age-related wear but remain very clean overall.
Surface: 9 / 10
Front: The surface is exceptionally well-preserved with vibrant colors and no visible scratches or print snow. Back: The reverse surface is clean with natural age-appropriate toning and no evidence of staining or wax marks.
