According to industry standards, the attributes of a Gem Mint card are "55/45 or better centering, sharp focus, four sharp corners, free of stains, no breaks in surface gloss, no print lines and no visible wear." An extremely difficult standard to attain, especially for vintage cards as the vast majority did not make it out of a pack in such condition. Graded 98 Gem 10 by SGC, the offered 1966 Topps Baseball #254 Fergie Jenkins rookie is absolutely the exception to the rule. Virtually flawless, the fresh-faced Hall of Fame pitcher never looked so good!
