A BILL HOWERTON from the 1951 BOWMAN set, card #229. This is a great addition to any PITTSBURGH PIRATES collection.
Graded by Mint Condition: 4
This vintage 1951 Bowman card is limited primarily by moderate rounding and whitening on the back corners. While the surface and edges are very well-preserved, the corners and the noticeable vertical centering shift on the front define the final assessment.
Centering: 7 / 10
The front display is shifted toward the top of the card, resulting in a thin top border and a much thicker bottom border.

Edges: 8 / 10
The edges are clean with only a few tiny instances of minor chipping visible along the right side.

Front: The front surface is in excellent condition with vibrant colors and no visible scratches or creases. Back: The back is clean and shows natural aging without any staining or ink marks.
