Reds) at the bottom left, and Bill White (St. Louis Cardinals) at the bottom right. A vertical green banner on the left side contains the text 1962 NATIONAL LEAGUE BATTING LEADERS.

The back also includes the card number 1 and the copyright information for T.C.G. Printed in U.S.A. The card is presented in a plastic top loader.
Condition report:
The card is in ungraded, raw condition. The front is off-center, favoring the bottom and right edges. The reverse is also off-center, shifted toward the right. All four corners show moderate rounding and softening consistent with handled vintage stock. Minor edge wear and light chipping are visible along the periphery. The front surface exhibits some scattered light marks and print spots, primarily on the green vertical bar. The reverse shows expected age-related toning.
