A BILLY GARDNER from the 1959 TOPPS set, card #89. This is a great addition to any BALTIMORE ORIOLES collection.
Graded by Mint Condition: 7
This is a very high-quality vintage card. While the corners and edges are excellent, the final grade is primarily limited by the left-shifted centering on the front and the minor surface spotting on the reverse.
Centering: 7 / 10
The centering is shifted toward the left edge, though the top and bottom borders appear well-balanced.
Corners: 8 / 10
Front: All four corners remain relatively sharp for the era, with only minor touches of wear visible upon close inspection. Back: The corners on the back show slight rounding and minor whitening, particularly at the Top Left and Bottom Right.
Edges: 8 / 10
The back edges show some light, age-appropriate chipping, mostly along the right side.
Surface: 7 / 10
The back surface displays some light foxing and minor age-related toning, which is common for this cardstock.
