A LEO SANFORD from the 1953 BOWMAN set, card #1953. This is a great addition to any Chicago Cardinals collection.
Graded by Mint Condition: 4
The final grade is dictated by the severe centering issues on the front, which borders on a miscut due to the near-absence of a top border. While the corners and edges are in high-grade condition for the era, the combination of extreme centering and a surface line across the front limits the overall assessment.
Centering: 3 / 10
The front centering is extremely poor, shifted heavily toward the top and left edges.
Corners: 7 / 10
The Top Left corner (as seen from the back) shows slight rounding and minor whitening.
Edges: 9 / 10
Front: The edges are clean and straight with no significant chipping or visible damage. Back: Reverse edges are well-preserved with typical vintage toning.
Surface: 6 / 10
A horizontal print line or surface scratch is visible across the middle of the player's jersey.
