Condition Details
Heavy corner wear, rounded corners, significant edge wear and chipping, surface scratches particularly visible near the top left, possible creases or surface indentations, and notable toning/discoloration of the borders characteristic of vintage paper stock.

Worth grading for authentication and protection given it is a significant Hall of Fame rookie card, though expect a lower numerical grade due to visible wear.
