A BILL STONEMAN from the 1968 TOPPS set, card #179. This is a great addition to any CHICAGO CUBS collection.
Graded by Mint Condition: 8
This card is in extraordinary condition, especially considering its age. With perfect scores across corners, edges, and surface, the only minor flaw is a vertical centering shift on the front. Given the vintage status, the 65/35 vertical centering still allows for a top-tier grade.
Centering: 7 / 10
The front horizontal centering is excellent, while the top border is notably thicker than the bottom.
Corners: 10 / 10
Front: All four corners are exceptionally sharp, maintaining their original points with no visible wear. Back: The corners on the reverse are clean and sharp, showing no signs of rounding or whitening.
Edges: 10 / 10
Front: The edges are remarkably smooth for a card of this era, showing no evidence of chipping or fraying. Back: The edges on the reverse side are clean and well-preserved across all four sides.
Surface: 10 / 10
Front: The surface is pristine, with vibrant color and a complete absence of scratches or print defects. Back: The reverse surface is very clean and lacks common vintage defects like wax stains or age toning.
