A BILLY MARTIN from the 1961 TOPPS set, card #89. This is a great addition to any MILWAUKEE BRAVES collection.
Graded by Mint Condition: 5
This vintage 1961 card is primarily limited by its corner condition, specifically the moderate rounding at the Top Right. While the centering is also noticeably off-center to the left, the physical wear on the corners and edges defines the mid-grade assessment.
Centering: 6 / 10
The front is shifted toward the left edge, creating an uneven horizontal balance. Vertical centering is slightly top-heavy but much closer to centered.
Corners: 4 / 10
Front: The Top Right corner shows moderate rounding and whitening. The other three corners exhibit lighter touches of wear. Back: Significant rounding and whitening are present on the Top Left corner, corresponding to the wear seen on the front. The remaining corners show moderate touches.
Edges: 6 / 10
Front: Moderate chipping and shelf wear are visible along the physical edges, particularly on the right side. Back: The edges on the reverse show general age-related fraying and light chipping consistent with its vintage.
Surface: 6 / 10
Front: The surface maintains strong color but shows typical vintage print speckling and minor scuffing in the glossy area. Back: The reverse displays light age-toning across the card stock, though the biographical text and stats remain sharp.
