A GUS BELL from the 1957 TOPPS set, card #180. This is a great addition to any CINCINNATI REDS collection.
Graded by Mint Condition: 5
This vintage card presents in mid-grade condition. The primary factors limiting the grade are the moderate rounding of all four corners and the significant centering shift on the front. While the surface remains relatively well-preserved for its era, the physical wear to the corners and the off-center alignment are consistent with a Very Good to Excellent assessment.
Centering: 6 / 10
The front has a significant right-heavy and top-heavy shift, though a border is still clearly visible on all sides.
Corners: 4 / 10
Front: All four corners show moderate rounding and visible whitening, with the Top Left corner being the most affected. Back: The back corners mirror the wear seen on the front, showing significant rounding and loss of color at the tips.
Edges: 6 / 10
Front: The edges show minor chipping and shelf wear, particularly visible along the Top and Left edges. Back: Typical age-related wear and minor fraying are evident along the perimeter of the reverse side.
Surface: 7 / 10
Front: The surface shows natural age-toning and a few minor scuffs, but remains free of major creases or stains. Back: The reverse surface is clean with standard vintage toning and no significant defects.
