A GORDIE HOWE from the 1971 TOPPS set, card #23. This is a great addition to any DETROIT RED WINGS collection.
Graded by Mint Condition: 4
This vintage booklet is in respectable condition for its age but is limited by moderate rounding on all corners and visible fraying along the edges. The centering is also noticeably off-set on both sides, further impacting the overall grade.
Centering: 7 / 10
The portrait is shifted toward the top and right edges, creating an uneven border balance.
Corners: 4 / 10
Front: All four corners show moderate rounding and softening. The bottom right corner exhibits the most significant wear with slight paper loss. Back: The corners on the reverse side show consistent rounding and light whitening at the tips.
Edges: 5 / 10
Front: The left edge shows visible fraying and slight unevenness from handling. The top and bottom edges are mostly stable. Back: Noticeable fraying and minor chipping are present along the right edge, likely from where the booklet was originally detached.
Surface: 5 / 10
The surface displays some light wrinkles near the top and general age-related toning, though the color remains vibrant.
