BID PER WHAT YOU SEE IN THE PHOTO, NOT THE AI GENERATED TITLES AND DESCRIPTIONS! Baseball 1954 Topps Jim Pendleton Milwaukee Braves #15 Ungraded
This is an original 1954 Topps baseball card featuring Jim Pendleton (James Edward Pendleton) of the Milwaukee Braves, designated as card number 15. The card utilizes the classic 1954 Topps dual-image horizontal design, which pairs a large color portrait on the left with a colorized action shot of the player in a batting stance on the right. The front includes a black facsimile signature over the action pose and the circular Milwaukee Braves Native American profile logo in the upper right. The reverse side is oriented horizontally and contains Pendleton’s biographical information, a narrative summary of his career through the 1953 season, a "You’re the Ump!" trivia cartoon, and his Major League batting and fielding records. This card was manufactured by Topps Chewing Gum (T.C.G.) and is a notable early-era Milwaukee Braves collectible.
Condition report:
This card is in ungraded, raw condition and is housed in a clear BCW protective holder. The centering on the front is moderately off-center toward the bottom and right borders, while the reverse exhibits better centering for the issue. All four corners show moderate softening and light rounding, with the bottom right corner displaying the most prominent wear. The edges are generally clean but show minor touches of white consistent with age. The front surface retains bright color, though a small dark print dot is visible near the yellow team logo. The reverse shows light age-related toning and a small reddish-orange stain located within the statistics grid under the Runs column for the Life row. There are no visible creases, pinholes, or significant surface scratches. Based on these observations, the card is in Very Good (VG) condition.
