Condition: Excellent

This card is in great shape.  I haven't gone back and looked at every '52 I have, but this may very well be in better condition than any of them.  If it weren't for the rounded corners I wouldn't hesitate to call this card near-mint.  It's front is clean and the gloss looks brand new.  It's kind of strange, after handling so many well worn cards from this set to come across one so intact.  Almost, an "ah ha," moment.  "So that's what these used to look like."
