Technically vg+, it has one relatively heavy crease affecting the three cards along the edge in rows six, seven and eight and a small hole on the Bell card. Otherwise, it has some light creases, primarily at the edges. If professionally separated, the sheet could yield many high-quality cards, including Eller, Hadl, Hill, Dierdorf, Snead, Foreman, Kilmer, Upshaw, Hayes, Yary, Warfield and Tatum. Or put it in a frame. It will look great on a game room wall!
