Condition Report
- Corners: All four corners maintain a pleasing degree of sharpness with only very minor touches.
- Edges: The edges show the characteristic O-Pee-Chee "rough cut" of the era, remaining remarkably clean with no major chipping or significant wear.
- Centering: Strong centering for this issue, appearing roughly 55/45 left-to-right and top-to-bottom.
- Surface: Excellent color and original gloss. The bilingual back is exceptionally clean with no wax stains or marking.
Grade Estimate:
EX-MT 6 (A very sharp specimen. While the centering and slight corner touches prevent a higher grade, its overall eye appeal is superior to typical "Excellent" examples found on the market.)
