Visible rounding and fraying on all four corners. Possible surface staining or residue at the top left. Centering appears slightly shifted to the left and top. Soft edges and some surface abrasions are visible despite the low-quality photo.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The condition issues (corners and centering) would likely result in a grade of 4 or below. The cost of grading exceeds the market value of the card at that grade.

Notable Features
Features the 1973 Topps 'Action' or field-shot design. Includes a facsimile (printed/not authentic) signature that was standard for this set.

Authentic 1973 Topps stock. The cardboard is the standard vintage brown/gray stock common to the era. The facsimile signature is part of the print layer, which is correct for this issue.
