Condition report:

The collection is in raw, ungraded condition with general technical grades ranging from Poor to Very Good. Most cards show moderate rounding and softening of corners consistent with age and handling. Visible edge wear, light scuffing, and minor surface creasing are present on several examples, with more significant creasing noted on the #153 Harry Perkowski card. Some cards exhibit minor tape residue or surface marks. Centering varies across the lot, with some cards being significantly off-center. The majority of the cards are housed in protective plastic top-loaders, many of which have price stickers affixed to the exterior plastic.
