A GENE VANCE from the 1948 BOWMAN set, card #20. This is a great addition to any CHICAGO STAGS collection.
Graded by Mint Condition: 2
While the card remains a recognizable vintage classic, its condition is severely impacted by structural issues. The combination of a heavy horizontal crease on the front and substantial paper loss on the reverse side dictates a grade in the Poor category.
Centering: 9 / 10
The front shows a moderate shift toward the top and right borders.

Edges: 2 / 10
Front: The edges show heavy chipping and fraying, particularly along the right and bottom borders. Back: Significant wear and chipping are present along all four edges of the reverse side.
Surface: 1 / 10
