Description
A classic 1987 Topps baseball card featuring Detroit Tigers star catcher Lance Parrish. The card features the iconic faux-wood border design unique to the 1987 set, with a full-color action photo of Parrish kneeling in his catcher's gear on the field. The player's name is displayed in white text inside a blue banner at the bottom, accompanied by the Topps logo and the Detroit Tigers circular team logo in the upper left corner.
Key Features

Authenticity Indicators

Flaws to Note
Noticeable top-heavy centering with a thicker wood-grain border at the top than the bottom. Corners appear slightly soft upon closer inspection, which is common for raw cards from this era.

Selling Tips
