1955 TOPPS JOHNNY RIDDLE 98 NRMT MCG 7 CO BASEBALL ST. LOUIS CARDINALS

A JOHNNY RIDDLE from the 1955 TOPPS set, card #98. This is a great addition to any ST. LOUIS CARDINALS collection. Graded by Mint Condition: 7 This is an exceptionally high-quality example from the 1954 set, featuring corners and surface condition far above the typical standard for the era. The final grade is primarily limited by the vertical centering, which shows a distinct shift toward the top. Centering: 7 / 10 Horizontal centering is nearly perfect. Vertically, the card is noticeably top-heavy, with a much thicker border at the bottom than the top. Corners: 9 / 10 Front: All four corners are impressively sharp for a vintage issue, showing only the most microscopic traces of wear upon close inspection. Back: The corners on the reverse are equally well-preserved, maintaining sharp points and clean edges. Edges: 8 / 10 Edges are very clean and straight, exhibiting only the slight natural roughness characteristic of the factory cutting process from this era. Surface: 9 / 10 Front: The surface is excellent with vibrant color and a high-gloss finish. No creases or notable print defects are present. Back: The reverse surface is clean and bright, with no evidence of the common wax staining often found on cards of this age. Please pay for multiple cards in ONE payment.
