Condition Details
Slight corner rounding and minor edge wear consistent with age. Centering appears fairly standard for the era. Surface shows light gloss reflection with some minor surface wear under the protective sleeve.

Highly recommended for professional grading (PSA or SGC) given the high value of vintage Hall of Fame rookie cards. A grade of VG-EX 4 would significantly protect and potentially increase the liquid market value.
