Description
This is the 1967 Topps card for Cleveland Browns Center Fred Hoaglin, his official Rookie Card. The reverse features a blue and green design with player biographical data (citing his birth in 1944 and attendance at Pittsburgh) along with a short career narrative. The bottom corner carries the classic 'T.C.G.' copyright and 'PRTD. IN U.S.A.' markings.
Key Features
Rookie Card of Fred Hoaglin, a 2-time Super Bowl champion coach and Pro Bowl Center. Part of the iconic 1967 Topps large-set design, highly collectible among Cleveland Browns fans and team set builders.
Authenticity Indicators
Authenticity confidence is High. The brown-colored cardboard stock and specific 'T.C.G.' (Topps Chewing Gum) typography are correct for 1967. The age-appropriate wear and fibrous texture of the edges are consistent with vintage print production. This specific common player is rarely counterfeited.
Flaws to Note
Heavy rounding of all four corners. Visible edge wear throughout the blue border. Significant vertical centering issues on the reverse side. The card stock shows general age-related discoloration and dirt/soiling consistent with a low-grade vintage find.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best suited for eBay as a Buy-It-Now listing for set builders, or as part of a lot of 1960s Cleveland Browns cards. Card shows with vintage dealers are also a viable option for low-value trades.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card; the grading fees will exceed the market value of the card in this condition. Use keywords like '1967 Topps Football', 'Fred Hoaglin Rookie', and 'Cleveland Browns' in the title. Ship in a penny sleeve and top-loader via eBay Standard Envelope for low-cost tracking.
