Regardless of the card's qualifier a MINT designation on a 60+ year old card is quite an achievement; better than "pack fresh " this card is a blazer with sharp corners and brilliant contrast a tiny fish eye on Coleman's cap the only non-centering flaw one can really find on the card. Whether the card would qualify for a NM-MT 8 grade is not ours to decide but with just 66 8s three 9s and one 10 a card this attractive is an outstanding find regardless.
