This is a beautiful card. No creases, incredible gloss but there is an issue with the bottom corners in that there is missing paper. I can only imagine this is exactly what the infamous cards came out of the packs looking like.....with fully intact bottom corners of course.
It is my opinion, and some others, that some of the 52 Topps cards came with corner pulls right out of the packs.
In my short time collecting 52 Topps cards, I have noticed this many times, although most seem to be the upper right corners rather than other corners.

My Al Rosen card with a similar, but not removed corner pull.
