1969 TOPPS STEVE CARLTON ST. LOUIS CARDINALS VG-EX MCG 4

A STEVE CARLTON from the 1969 TOPPS set, card #1969. This is a great addition to any St. Louis Cardinals collection. Graded by Mint Condition: 4 This card displays exceptional physical condition for its age regarding corners, edges, and surface. However, the final grade is severely limited by a manufacturing defect in centering, particularly the nearly absent top border on the reverse side. Centering: 3 / 10 The front design is heavily shifted toward the top-left corner, resulting in very narrow borders on those sides. Corners: 9 / 10 Front: All four corners appear sharp and well-preserved, maintaining their original shape through the holder. Back: The corners on the reverse are clean with no significant rounding or whitening visible. Edges: 9 / 10 Front: The edges appear straight and smooth, showing no obvious signs of chipping or wear. Back: The reverse edges are well-defined and appear consistent with the era. Surface: 9 / 10 Front: The front surface is bright and shows no visible creases, scratches, or print defects. Back: The back is clean with no evidence of staining or surface damage. Please pay for multiple cards in ONE payment. You will receive the card in the title and picture.
