A BILL BRUBAKER from the 1940 Play Ball set, card #166. This is a great addition to any PITTSBURGH PIRATES collection.
Graded by Mint Condition: 2
The final grade is primarily limited by the significant physical damage and paper loss at the bottom corner of the card. While the centering is acceptable for a vintage issue, the structural integrity of the corner and surface prevents a higher assessment.
