A RED LUCAS from the 1934 DIAMOND STARS set, card #46. This is a great addition to any Cincinnati Reds collection.
Graded by Mint Condition: 3
This vintage card is held to a Grade 3 due to the combination of moderate corner rounding across all four corners and the severe centering shift on the reverse side. While the surface remains in excellent condition for the 1930s era, the physical wear and manufacturing alignment limit the overall grade.
Centering: 3 / 10
The front has a strong vertical shift toward the bottom edge, leaving a very thin border at the base.
Corners: 4 / 10
Front: All four corners show moderate rounding and softening of the fibers, typical for a handled vintage card. Back: The corners on the reverse side mirror the wear seen on the front, with visible rounding and light whitening.
Edges: 6 / 10
Front: The edges show minor shelf wear and light chipping, most notably along the top and bottom edges. Back: Light fraying and natural age-related toning are present along the perimeter.
Surface: 10 / 10
Front: The front surface is well-preserved for its era, showing vibrant colors and no significant scratches or creases. Back: The back surface is clean and legible with standard age-related toning and no signs of ink marks or staining.
