Description
A classic 1968 Topps baseball card featuring Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Larry Jackson. The card displays a portrait-style photo of Jackson in his 'Phillies' pinstripe uniform, bent over in a pitching stance. The design features a wood-grain-like burlap texture border (unique to '68) with bold yellow block lettering for the team name at the bottom and a facsimile signature across the image.
Key Features
Vintage 1960s Topps design; notable All-Star pitcher with 194 career wins; desirable 'burlap' border design aesthetic.
Authenticity Indicators
Authentic card stock with correct fiber density; period-accurate color registration; 'burlap' pattern texture is consistent with genuine 1968 Topps. High confidence.
Flaws to Note
Significant right-side centering bias; soft, rounded corners; heavy edge chipping; surface 'snow' or white print defects on the image and upper border; general age-related toning.

Where to Sell

Selling Tips
Do not grade this card, as the fees will far outweigh the market value. Selling as part of a 1968 Topps team set or near-complete set is the best way to move this item efficiently.
