Description
Offering a 1987 Topps baseball card featuring pitcher Lee Tunnell of the Pittsburgh Pirates, card number 1041. The card features the iconic 1987 wood-grain border design, a sharp color photograph of Tunnell wearing his Pirates uniform and glasses, with bright yellow 'PIRATES' text at the top. Perfect for completing the 1987 Topps set or for a vintage team collector.
Key Features
Classic 1987 Topps wood-grain border design, part of the high-number series which is slightly scarcer than the first series, vintage 80s aesthetic.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. Card stock, printing dot patterns, and back statistics match original 1987 Topps production standards. Not a heavily counterfeited card due to low player market value.
Flaws to Note
Slight right-heavy centering on the front; minor chipping along the back edges common with 1987 Topps card stock.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
COMC, eBay (in a lot or single with combined shipping), or local card shop bulk boxes.
Selling Tips
Best sold as part of a complete 1987 Topps set or team set rather than individually due to low individual raw value. Ship securely in a penny sleeve and top loader using standard envelope or bubble mailer.
