Frank Robinson Orioles Baseball Card 1971 Topps No. 640 - Graded by Axiom in Good 2 condition upon examination. Frank Robinson's arrival in Baltimore in 1966 was a game-changer, as he won the Triple Crown and led the Orioles to their first-ever World Series championship. He remains the only player in MLB history to win the Most Valuable Player award in both the National and American Leagues.
Axiom examination of the front and back images, here is a preliminary assessment of the card's condition:
- Centering: The centering on the front appears to be heavily biased to the right side, with a much thicker border on the left.
- Corners: The corners show clear signs of wear and rounding, with the bottom left corner appearing to be the most damaged.
- Edges: The edges, particularly the bottom edge, show significant wear, scuffing, and minor chipping.
- Surface: The front surface appears to have some light scratching, and the back has visible scuffing and discoloration, particularly on the top-left area. The signature on the front is a printed facsimile, not an autograph.
Given the clear signs of wear on the corners and edges, and the off-centered printing, this card Axiom grades "Good 2" condition.
