A HAL SMITH from the 1957 TOPPS set, card #41. This is a great addition to any KANSAS CITY ATHLETICS collection.
Graded by Mint Condition: 4
This vintage card is held to a grade of 4 primarily due to the moderate rounding visible on all four corners. Additionally, significant centering shifts on both the front and back further limit the technical grade, despite the surface and colors remaining relatively well-preserved for its age.
Centering: 6 / 10
The image is shifted notably toward the Top Right, leaving a very thin border on those edges.
Corners: 4 / 10
Front: All four corners show moderate rounding and whitening, with the Top Left and Bottom Right corners exhibiting the most significant wear. Back: The corners on the reverse side mirror the front, showing visible rounding and softness at the tips.
Edges: 5 / 10
Front: The Left edge shows visible chipping and minor fraying typical of vintage card stock. Back: Minor chipping and roughness are present along the side edges.
Surface: 8 / 10
The surface is generally clean with good color, though some minor print spotting or 'snow' is visible in the background areas.
