Condition Details
The card shows significant top-to-bottom centering issues (heavy on bottom). The corners show visible softening/rounding, particularly at the bottom left. There is a visible black surface mark or smudge near the player's name at the top and minor edge wear.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. Given the centering issues and corner wear, the card would likely receive a mid-grade (EX 4-5) or a (OC) qualifier. The cost of grading exceeds the market value of the expected result.
Card Description
Paul Molitor is depicted in a batting stance wearing the Milwaukee Brewers' light blue road uniform with 'Brewers' across the chest and #4 on the sleeve. The design features a yellow 'position banner' in the upper left (SS-2B) and a purple 'team banner' at the bottom right. A facsimile autograph is printed on the lower left of the image.
Notable Features
Facsimile autograph (pre-printed as part of the design); Hall of Fame player (inducted 2004); features the iconic 'Glove' logo on the player's cap.
Authentication Notes
The card displays authentic 1981 Topps card stock characteristics, including the specific dot-matrix printing pattern and age-appropriate paper browning. The facsimile autograph is consistent with genuine issues.
