A BILLY PIERCE from the 1959 TOPPS set, card #466. This is a great addition to any CHICAGO WHITE SOX collection.
Graded by Mint Condition: 8
This is an exceptional vintage specimen. While the corners and front surface are indicative of a higher grade, the significant centering shift on the back and the minor touch on the front top-left corner cap the final grade at a 8.
Centering: 9 / 10
Front: The front displays a moderate shift toward the right edge, though it remains well within standard tolerances for a high-grade vintage card. Back: The back centering is significantly shifted toward the left side, which impacts the overall grade ceiling.
Corners: 8 / 10
Front: The corners are very sharp for the era; only the Top Left corner shows a microscopic touch of wear under close inspection. Back: The reverse corners show minor touches of whitening consistent with light handling, but remain well-defined.
Edges: 9 / 10
The edges on the reverse are well-preserved, with only a few minor specks of shelf wear along the top edge.
Surface: 10 / 10
Front: The surface is pristine with excellent color saturation and no visible print snow or scratches. Back: The gray card stock on the reverse is clean, showing no signs of wax stains or age-related toning.
