Description
This is the back of a 1977 Topps Lemar Parrish #325 football card. The card features a distinct tan cardstock with pink and black printing.

Authenticity Indicators

Flaws to Note
Minor edge wear visible on the left side; slight corner softening; typical age-related toning of the vintage cardstock; centering is leaning toward the top edge.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (as part of a lot or a low-cost listing), COMC (Check Out My Cards), or vintage-specific Facebook groups like 'Vintage Football Card Collectors'.
Selling Tips
Due to the low value of a raw mid-grade common from this era, grading is not recommended unless it appears to be a flaw-free PSA 9 candidate. Best sold to a collector trying to complete a 1977 set via eBay standard envelope to keep shipping costs under $1.
