I got this from topps today. I am sure it was hung on some kids wall for a long time, and I do think it gives it a story or personality, but it sure ate the BV !!

Most of the 50s cards I've seen from the DG site have been pretty rough. The corners centering on this one seem quite decent from the scan. It's too bad Topps doesn't have a "vault" of old pristine cards that it uses for the DG. I imagine Topps contracts with vendors for cards in bulk and doesn't care too much about the condition.

That sucks. I really hate that Topps didn't do any quality control on the cards used for the Diamond Giveaway, and similar for the Million Card Giveaway last year.

I received a '77 card from the giveaway that looked like it went through the wash. It went right in the trash. Most of the '70's cards I got from the giveaway looked as bad as the cards my brother and I had when we were dumb kids and treated them like poker cards.
