Description
A classic 1985 Topps base card featuring Oakland Athletics pitcher Chris Codiroli in a dynamic follow-through pitching motion. The card features the iconic '85 design with a large diagonal team name 'A's' in yellow against a green block, accompanied by the Oakland Athletics circular team logo in the bottom right corner.
Key Features
Features the popular 1985 Topps design known for its clean white borders and bold block lettering. Codiroli was a staple of the Athletics' rotation in the mid-80s.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. This card is printed on standard gray-back cardstock typical for 1985 Topps. No history of counterfeiting for this specific player/card as it is a common base card.
Flaws to Note

Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold as part of a 1985 Topps complete set, an Oakland A's team lot on eBay, or in a 'pick-your-card' listing where collectors can fill gaps in their sets.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card, as the grading fee (approx. $20) is much higher than the card's potential value. If selling, group it with other 1985 Topps cards or Athletics cards of the same era to save on shipping costs using the eBay Standard Envelope for trading cards.
