Description
1987 Topps Larry Herndon base card featuring the iconic and highly recognizable wood-grain border design. The card features a clear color photograph of Herndon in his Detroit Tigers gray road uniform leaning against the dugout railing. The top-left corner features the Detroit Tigers circular team logo, and the bottom features a blue nameplate with white text reading LARRY HERNDON alongside the classic cursive Topps logo in the bottom-left corner.
Key Features
Iconic 1987 Topps wood-grain border design which is a massive favorite among nostalgic vintage collectors from the junk wax era.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. Correct card stock, accurate wood grain pattern resolution, and proper font types. Not a heavily targeted card for counterfeiters due to high print runs.
Flaws to Note
Slight top-to-bottom centering bias with a slightly thicker top wood border. Potential minor edge wear typical of ungraded raw cards stored loosely.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
COMC, eBay in bulk lots, or local card shops/shows as part of cheap vintage inventory.
Selling Tips
Not economically viable to grade professionally since the grading fees far exceed the value of the card. Best sold raw as part of a complete 1987 Topps set or in a team lot.
