A GUS ZERNIAL from the 1953 TOPPS set, card #42. This is a great addition to any PHILADELPHIA ATHLETICS collection.
Graded by Mint Condition: 4
This vintage card presents in a Very Good condition. The final grade is primarily established by the moderate rounding and whitening on the corners and the presence of red ink handwriting on the reverse. While the card retains excellent eye appeal and strong color, these physical condition factors, along with the left-heavy centering, limit the overall grade.
