Description
A vintage 1970 Topps football card featuring Hall of Fame wide receiver Fred Biletnikoff of the Oakland Raiders. The card features the iconic 1970 design with a green-bordered photo frame and large 'RAIDERS' text in a yellow banner at the bottom. Biletnikoff is shown in his classic Raiders uniform holding a football. This is a staple card for Oakland/Las Vegas Raiders collectors and vintage football enthusiasts.
Key Features
Hall of Fame player; Iconic 1970 Topps design; High demand for 1970s wide receiver legends; Original Raiders franchise history interest.
Authenticity Indicators
Confidence: High. The card stock shows the correct grey-cardboard pulp common to 1970 Topps issues. The ink saturation on the 'RAIDERS' text is flat/matte as expected. No modern gloss or dot-matrix patterns indicative of a reprint.
Flaws to Note
Significant paper loss on the top-left corner; heavy rounding on all four corners; significant left-to-right centering bias (75% to the right); surface staining/dirt on the bottom banner; edge wear on the left side.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (best for vintage single cards in this condition), COMC, or local card shows in the California/Nevada area for Raiders regional interest.
Selling Tips
Listing this card raw is recommended; the cost of grading ($19+) exceeds the value bump for a low-grade (PSA 3) specimen. Use clear high-resolution photos of the corners and reverse. Keywords: HOF, Raiders, Vintage, 1970, Biletnikoff.
