A TEAM CARD from the 1965 TOPPS set, card #551. This is a great addition to any NEW YORK METS collection.
Graded by Mint Condition: 2
While the card features exceptional centering for a vintage issue, it is heavily impacted by significant technical flaws. The presence of a major horizontal crease on the front and heavy rounding on all four corners limits the overall condition to a lower grade.
Centering: 10 / 10
Front: The front displays very strong centering, with only a minor shift toward the top and left edges. Back: The reverse is well-centered with a slight bias toward the right edge.
Corners: 2 / 10
Front: All four corners show heavy rounding and significant whitening, with the Bottom Right corner displaying the most advanced wear. Back: The reverse corners are similarly rounded with extensive shelf wear and visible paper softening.
Edges: 3 / 10
The edges show substantial chipping and fraying, particularly along the top and right borders.
Surface: 2 / 10
A heavy horizontal crease runs across the upper third of the card, accompanied by significant scuffing and general surface wear.
