A BILLY GARDNER from the 1957 TOPPS set, card #17. This is a great addition to any BALTIMORE ORIOLES collection.
Graded by Mint Condition: 5
This vintage card is in Very Good to Excellent condition. The final grade is primarily determined by the moderate softening and rounding of the corners. Additionally, significant centering shifts are present on both the front and back, although the surface remains well-preserved for its age.
Centering: 6 / 10
The front design is positioned heavily toward the top and left edges of the card stock.
Corners: 4 / 10
Front: All four corners show moderate rounding and softening. There is visible whitening at the tips, which is typical for a vintage card of this era. Back: The corners on the reverse side mirror the softening seen on the front, with uniform wear consistent with age.
Edges: 8 / 10
Front: The edges are relatively clean, though they show minor chipping and light wear along the perimeter. Back: Light fraying is visible along the edges of the back, particularly on the right side.
Surface: 8 / 10
Front: The front surface retains good color and clarity. Some minor print snow is visible in the background, and the card stock shows natural age-related toning. Back: The back surface is clean with no writing or major staining, showing only mild uniform toning across the card stock.
