1954 Topps Al Kaline #201

Cracks into the Top Tier with side border sway being visible as the eye travels down the side borders; that's the impactful flaw on a card that "wears its wear" very well, to borrow a phrase from a fellow member here. The corners and top edge wear might matter to the number grade but really not to the letter for me, as they're very subtle.

The colors make this card. The blue of the cap and the skin ton of the image really stands tall. The borders are not perfect but better than most and nice and bright

Image and colors really stand out. Some minor surface blemishes on the cap.
