Condition Details
Heavy horizontal crease across the center of the player's face, significant corner rounding, edge wear, and surface staining/scuffing. Visible indentations and possible paper loss on edges.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The severity of the creases and corner wear ensures a grade of Poor (1) or Fair (1.5). The cost of grading would exceed the market value of the authenticated card.
Card Description
Features Hall of Fame third baseman Eddie Mathews for the Milwaukee Braves. He is wearing a Braves cap with the 'M' logo against a blue background with white stars. The card design mimics a 'Sport Magazine' cover for the '58 All Star Selection.
Notable Features
Part of the iconic 1958 Topps All-Star subcommittee within the set. Eddie Mathews is a Hall of Famer (HOF). No serial numbering or autographs.
Authentication Notes
The card stock appears consistent with authentic 1958 Topps cardboard. The aging/toning on the edges and the specific style of the 'zip' crease are common traits of authentic vintage cards from this era.
