A JIM DAVID from the 1959 TOPPS set, card #143. This is a great addition to any DETROIT LIONS collection.
Graded by Mint Condition: 9
This 1959 Topps card is in elite condition. It retains sharp corners and clean edges, which is rare for vintage football cards. The minor centering shift and faint corner touch limit it to a Mint grade, but it remains a high-end example of the issue.
Centering: 9 / 10
The front has a minor horizontal shift to the right, though the vertical alignment is very close to centered.
Corners: 9 / 10
Front: The Top Right corner shows a trace of micro-fuzzing. The other three corners are exceptionally sharp for a card from this era. Back: The corners on the reverse side are well-preserved with only the slightest touch of wear on the Top Left corner.
Edges: 10 / 10
Front: All four edges are smooth and free of the chipping or fraying often seen in vintage stock. Back: The back edges are clean and maintain their original factory-cut appearance.
Surface: 9 / 10
The back surface is very clean, showing only a few tiny natural age spots that do not detract from the overall appeal.
