Condition: very good. There was a piece off of each corner but a corner from another card has been taped in place of the missing area with tape from the back then carefully painted over to match any missing colors. There are a few smudges in the blank borders and in the "sky" above Bogart's figure. There is a 3" crease in the top right of the image background. This card is far from mint, but the defects are almost exclusively in the blank borders and background areas, and they are not very distracting. I would think almost any collector would be proud (and thrilled) to display this card! Learn More about condition grades
