1954 BOWMAN ZEKE BRATKOWSKI 11 EX MCG 5 RC FOOTBALL CHICAGO BEARS

A ZEKE BRATKOWSKI from the 1954 BOWMAN set, card #11. This is a great addition to any CHICAGO BEARS collection. Graded by Mint Condition: 5 This vintage issue is primarily limited by moderate rounding on all four corners. While the surface and edges remain in excellent condition for a 1954 card, the corner wear and top-heavy centering shift on the front determine the final assessment. Centering: 7 / 10 The front displays a significant top-heavy orientation, with the top border being much thicker than the bottom. Corners: 4 / 10 Front: All four corners show moderate rounding and softening of the card stock, typical of handled vintage cards. Back: The corners on the reverse exhibit similar rounding and light whitening consistent with the front. Edges: 7 / 10 Front: The edges are generally clean for the age, with only minor chipping visible along the left side. Back: Natural age-related toning is present along the edges, but they remain free of major nicks or fraying. Surface: 9 / 10 Front: The front surface is very well-preserved, showing strong color and no significant scratches or creases. Back: The back surface shows uniform toning and remains free of any ink marks, stains, or surface damage. Please pay for multiple cards in ONE payment.
