A BILLY HITCHCOCK from the 1953 TOPPS set, card #17. This is a great addition to any PHILADELPHIA ATHLETICS collection.
Graded by Mint Condition: 7
This card presents well for its era, but the final grade is limited by the vertical centering and a noticeable vertical print line on the front surface. The corners and edges are strong for a vintage issue.
Centering: 7 / 10
The top border is noticeably thinner than the bottom, while the left-to-right alignment is well-proportioned.
Corners: 8 / 10
Front: The corners remain mostly sharp, though very minor touches of wear are visible on the upper tips. Back: Light softening and minor chipping are present at the corners, consistent with age.
Edges: 8 / 10
Front: The edges show some light vintage roughness and a few tiny chips, primarily along the left side. Back: The edges are well-preserved with only minor signs of handling.
Surface: 6 / 10
A vertical print line is visible on the left side of the card, and there are a few minor surface specks near the bottom.
