A MEL HUTCHINS from the 1957 TOPPS set, card #46. This is a great addition to any NEW YORK KNICKS collection.
Graded by Mint Condition: 7
This is an exceptionally high-quality vintage card with corners, edges, and surfaces that are in pristine condition. The final grade is determined by the centering, specifically a vertical shift on the front which places it in the Near Mint range despite the near-perfect condition of the other attributes.
Centering: 6 / 10
The front displays a heavy shift toward the top edge, though it retains a clear border. Horizontal centering is slightly favor of the left side.
Corners: 9 / 10
The corners are remarkably sharp for a vintage card. Only the Top Left corner shows a trace of micro-fuzzing under close inspection.
Edges: 10 / 10
Front: The edges are extremely well-preserved with no signs of chipping or wear along the cut lines. Back: The reverse edges are smooth and free of any common vintage edge-wear.
Surface: 10 / 10
Front: The surface maintains vibrant color and a smooth finish with no visible scratches or print defects. Back: The card stock on the back is clean and free of any wax stains or age-related toning.
