A HAL BEVAN from the 1961 TOPPS set, card #456. This is a great addition to any CINCINNATI REDS collection.
Graded by Mint Condition: 7
This is a beautiful vintage card with technical attributes that far exceed its final grade. The corners, edges, and surfaces are in excellent condition. However, the final assessment is governed by the centering, specifically the significant horizontal shifts on both the front and back.
Centering: 7 / 10
The front design is shifted toward the Left edge, creating a noticeable imbalance in border thickness.
Corners: 8 / 10
Front: All four corners are impressively sharp for a card of this age, with only the Bottom Right showing a micro-touch of wear. Back: The corners on the reverse are well-defined, showing only minor hints of whitening at the tips.
Edges: 9 / 10
Front: The edges are very clean and straight, exhibiting only the lightest traces of natural factory roughness. Back: The back edges are well-preserved with no significant chipping or fraying visible.
Surface: 9 / 10
The front surface is bright and clear of any scratches or creases, showing only a few minor print dots common to the era.
