A BILLY LOES from the 1957 TOPPS set, card #244. This is a great addition to any BALTIMORE ORIOLES collection.
Graded by Mint Condition: 7
This is a remarkably well-preserved vintage card. While the centering is slightly off-center to the right, it remains within high-grade tolerances. The primary constraints are the minor, uniform touches of wear on the corners, which are consistent across all four points. The surface and edges are exceptionally strong for a 1957 issue.
Centering: 9 / 10
The front displays a moderate shift toward the right, while vertical alignment is nearly centered.
Corners: 7 / 10
Front: All four corners show minor touches of wear and very slight softening, which is common for this vintage issue. Back: The corners on the reverse exhibit similar minor softening and micro-wear at the tips.
Edges: 8 / 10
Front: The edges are clean and well-defined, showing only the typical light roughness associated with 1950s factory cuts. Back: Edges on the back remain sharp with very minimal shelf wear visible.
Surface: 9 / 10
Front: The front surface is excellent, retaining vibrant color and showing no signs of scratches, creases, or print defects. Back: The back surface is very clean with no wax stains or ink marks, showcasing the original card stock well.
