1955 TOPPS MEL PARNELL 140 VG-EX MCG 4 BASEBALL BOSTON RED SOX

A MEL PARNELL from the 1955 TOPPS set, card #140. This is a great addition to any BOSTON RED SOX collection. Graded by Mint Condition: 4 This card is in extraordinary physical condition for a 1955 vintage issue, featuring corners, edges, and surface quality that are nearly flawless. However, the final grade is significantly limited by a severe manufacturing shift in horizontal centering on the front. Because the condition of the card stock is so high while the centering is heavily shifted, it is a strong candidate for an Off-Center (OC) qualifier. Centering: 3 / 10 The front design is heavily shifted toward the right, resulting in a very thin right border compared to the wide left border. Corners: 10 / 10 Front: All four corners on the front are remarkably sharp and well-preserved for a card of this age. Back: The back corners mirror the front's high quality, showing no signs of rounding or whitening. Edges: 10 / 10 Front: The edges are clean and smooth across all four sides without any visible chipping. Back: The back edges are excellent, maintaining their original crispness. Surface: 10 / 10 Front: The surface is exceptionally clean with vibrant colors and no visible scratches or print defects. Back: The back surface is pristine, with clear text and no signs of staining or wear. Please pay for multiple cards in ONE payment. You will receive the card in the title and picture.
