A JOE HOERNER from the 1968 TOPPS set, card #227. This is a great addition to any ST. LOUIS CARDINALS collection.
Graded by Mint Condition: 5
This is an extraordinary copy of a 1968 vintage card. It maintains exceptionally sharp corners on both sides, very clean edges, and near-perfect centering, with only microscopic, age-appropriate wear at the corner tips preventing a higher assessment.
Centering: 9 / 10
Front borders are well balanced, with no significant centering deviation detected.
Corners: 4 / 10
The reverse corners are wonderfully crisp, with only the Top Left corner showing a tiny touch of fiber softening under close inspection.
Edges: 9 / 10
Front: The front edges present a clean, sharp factory cut with no significant chipping or wear. Back: The reverse edges are very clean, with just a minute speck of light friction wear on the right border.
Surface: 9 / 10
Front: The front surface is bright and clean, showing bold print colors and no visible print lines or scuffs. Back: The yellow reverse is vivid and completely clean, entirely free from the typical wax or gum staining common to this issue.
