1952, '54, '55 Topps &

1955 Bowman Baseball Cards

Un-signed Singles

Condition - Grading is per PSA Standards. A jewelers loupe has been used to determine corner condition. Cards have been carefully inspected & all creases (light, medium or heavy), paper loss, tears, surface wrinkles etc. are noted.

Surface wrinkles are very common in early issues & are either inherent within the top layer of the cardboard prior to printing or caused by handling although it's near impossible to create a handling wrinkle on one side without affecting the opposite side & causing at least a noticeable bend. A surface wrinkle is never broken or cracked & appears on one side of the card only, front or back. Cracked surface wrinkles are caused by handling & bending the card.

If a surface wrinkle is cracked or the card is bent because of it than I have noted this in the description.

Corners, Surface Wear, Centering etc. See the Sample Scans for grading examples.

Centering is at least 75/25 or better. All centering less than 75/25 - measured at it's worst point - is noted.

Absolutely no alterations have been performed on these cards to enhance grading.

Pricing - Per 2002 Beckett Guide - $ are 1/2 of next highest grade - e.g. If NM price is $6.00, EX is $3.00, VG is $1.50 etc.
