A WILLY MIRANDA from the 1958 TOPPS set, card #179. This is a great addition to any BALTIMORE ORIOLES collection.
Graded by Mint Condition: 7
This card is in exceptional condition for a mid-1950s issue. It retains brilliant color and sharp edges. The final grade is determined by the vertical centering shift on the front and a single minor touch of wear on the top right corner. Outside of these subtle vintage characteristics, the card presents at a very high level.
Centering: 7 / 10
The top border is significantly thicker than the bottom, while the left-to-right alignment is very well-balanced.
Corners: 7 / 10
Both top corners show very light signs of softening consistent with age, while the bottom corners remain crisp.
Edges: 9 / 10
Front: The edges are extremely clean for a vintage issue, with only minor natural roughness visible on the right edge. Back: All four edges on the reverse appear sharp and free of significant chipping or fraying.
Surface: 9 / 10
Front: The surface is vibrant and free of creases. Very faint print snow is visible in the blue background, which is typical for this set. Back: The reverse surface is clean with light, even toning that reflects its vintage origin without any staining or damage.
