Description
This 1965 Topps baseball card features Cincinnati Reds outfielder Marty Keough. The card utilizes the iconic 1965 design with a large player photo, a team-specific pennant logo in the bottom left, and name/position in the bottom right corner. The player is shown in a batting stance wearing a classic Cincinnati Reds uniform and cap.

Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. The card stock shows the correct grey chipboard texture common for 1965 Topps. The vintage dot-pattern printing (rosette pattern) and the specific wear patterns are consistent with authentic mid-60s stock. This card is not a common target for high-quality counterfeiting.
Flaws to Note
Significant condition issues: severe corner rounding and fraying, heavy edge wear, multiple surface scuffs/scratches, and visible staining on the right border. The card lacks sharp corners and has significant surface dirt and aging markers.

Selling Tips
Do not grade this card. The cost of professional grading (minimum $19-$25) is much higher than the actual value of the card. It is best sold as part of a '1965 Topps Team Set' or a bulk 'Vintage Starter Lot' on eBay to minimize shipping costs relative to value.
