Condition Grade
The card is in Very Good (VG) condition. Here is a breakdown of the condition factors:
- Centering: The centering is slightly off on both the front and the back. On the front, the white border on the left side appears noticeably wider than the one on the right. This is a common issue with Topps cards from this era.
- Corners: All four corners show clear signs of wear. They are rounded and have some fraying, especially the top-right corner on the front. This is a significant factor that lowers the card's grade.
- Surface: The surface on both sides seems relatively clean, with no visible major creases or stains. There might be minor scratches or print defects, but these are difficult to assess from the provided images.
- Edges: The edges show some chipping and wear, which is consistent with the condition of the corners.
