Description
This is a 1977 Topps football card featuring Miami Dolphins wide receiver Duriel Harris. This is his official rookie card. The back features a pink and black design with career stats from his 1976 season, personal biological data, and a 'College Corner' blurb mentioning his time at New Mexico State University. The card stock is the traditional grey/brown cardboard used by Topps during the late 70s.
Key Features
Official Rookie Card of a popular 1970s-80s Dolphins receiver; part of the iconic 1977 Topps set featuring a clean, classic design.
Authenticity Indicators
Confidence: High. The card shows correct 1977 Topps typography, the specific pink ink hue used in the late 70s, and authentic pulp-style card stock texture. It is not a commonly counterfeited card due to its relatively low market value.
Flaws to Note
Visible corner wear especially on the top left and bottom right corners. The centering on the back is slightly off, biased toward the top and right edges. Some light surface toning is visible on the porous card stock.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform for this card, likely as a 'Fixed Price/Best Offer' listing or as part of a 1977 Topps team lot. COMC is also a viable option for low-value vintage.
Selling Tips
Due to the high cost of grading ($19+), this card should not be graded unless it is in pristine mint condition. Sell it raw in a penny sleeve and top-loader. Use 'PWE' (Plain White Envelope) shipping through eBay Standard Envelope to keep costs low for the buyer.
