Condition Report
This vintage treasure is presented in raw, ungraded condition.
This vintage treasure is presented in raw, ungraded condition.
- Front: The colors remain bright and the registration is sharp. As noted, there is a small vertical crease visible on the left side of the card.
- Back: This is the authentic O-Pee-Chee bilingual back, featuring career highlights in both English and French. The back shows light, even toning consistent with its age but remains clean with no ink marks or paper loss.
- Corners & Edges: The corners show moderate softening and light rounding, particularly at the top left. The edges exhibit minor chipping, typical for the O-Pee-Chee card stock of this era.
- Centering: The card is shifted toward the top and slightly to the left, which is very common for this high-number All-Star subset.
Grade Estimate:
VG 3 (Very Good)
Reasoning: While the eye appeal is strong, the technical grade is limited by the small crease, corner softening, and off-center alignment.
