Description
This is the back-view of a 1977 Topps Harold Jackson football card (#445). The card features Jackson as a Wide Receiver for the Los Angeles Rams. The back contains his full receiving record from 1968 to 1976, biographical data, and a 'College Corner' blurb about his career at Jackson State. The 1977 design is known for its distinct font and use of pinkish-red accents on the card back.
Key Features
Harold Jackson was a 5-time Pro-Bowler and a dominant receiver of the 1970s. This card belongs to a classic 'junk wax' precursor era set with a recognizable design.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. The cardboard stock has the appropriate 'gray-brown' pulp texture of mid-70s Topps issues. The copyright notice '© 1977 TOPPS CHEWING GUM, INC.' is present with correct typography.
Flaws to Note
Centering is slightly toward the top. Corners have minor rounding visible from the back. There is a small vertical print line or light surface indentation visible near the center-bottom edge.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform. Due to the low value, listing it as part of a Los Angeles Rams lot or a 1977 Topps set-building lot would increase the chance of a sale.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card; the grading fees ($15-$25+) far exceed the market value of a mid-grade Jackson card. List with high-quality photos of the front and back. Use 'LA Rams' and 'Vintage Football' as keywords.
