1957 TOPPS ROY SMALLEY 397 EX MCG 5 BASEBALL PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES

A ROY SMALLEY from the 1957 TOPPS set, card #397. This is a great addition to any PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES collection. Graded by Mint Condition: 5 This card presents exceptionally well from the front, featuring high-quality centering and surface preservation. However, the grade is primarily limited by the moderate rounding found on the corners of the reverse side, which is a common occurrence with vintage stock. Centering: 9 / 10 The horizontal centering is nearly ideal, while the vertical centering shows a moderate shift toward the top edge. Corners: 4 / 10 The corners on the reverse side show more advanced wear, with moderate rounding visible at the Bottom Left and Top Left corners. Edges: 8 / 10 The edges are relatively clean, though the Left edge shows the typical rough-cut texture common in 1957 Topps production. Surface: 9 / 10 Front: The front surface is excellent with vibrant color. There is some minor 'print snow' in the background sky, which is a standard characteristic of this set. Back: The reverse surface is clean with no evidence of wax staining or heavy toning. Please pay for multiple cards in ONE payment. You will receive the card in the title and picture.
