A BOB ALLEN from the 1964 TOPPS set, card #209. This is a great addition to any PITTSBURGH PIRATES collection.
Graded by Mint Condition: 7
This is a remarkably well-preserved vintage card with sharp corners and clean edges that suggest a higher technical grade. However, the final condition is determined by the revealed 'Magic Answer' section on the reverse and a moderate horizontal centering shift on the front.
Centering: 9 / 10
There is a moderate horizontal shift toward the left, which is very common for this vintage issue.
Corners: 8 / 10
The Top Left corner shows a very minor touch of whitening. The other three corners are exceptionally sharp and clean.
Edges: 10 / 10
Front: The edges are extremely well-preserved with no noticeable chipping or wear along the perimeter. Back: The back edges remain sharp and free of significant handling marks.
Surface: 6 / 10
The back surface is clean, but the 'Magic Answer' box has been rubbed to reveal the hidden name 'BILL SKOWRON'.
