Description
This 2007 Topps #40 Derek Jeter card features the iconic New York Yankees shortstop. The reverse provides a complete Major League batting record through 2006, highlighting his .300+ career average and Hall of Fame trajectory. Features the classic 2007 Topps design with team color-coordinated borders and the MLB logo.
Key Features
Hall of Fame player, core Jeter base card from the mid-2000s, featuring full career stats through the 2006 season. High collector demand for Jeter items keeps even base cards relevant.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. Card displays correct 2007 Topps stock thickness, official MLB/MLBPA licensing logos, and standard halftone printing patterns. This specific base card is rarely counterfeited compared to the 'Jeter/Bush/Mantle' SP from the same year.
Flaws to Note
The card appears to show minor edge wear and corner whitening on the top-left reverse corner. Visible centering shift on the reverse (left-heavy). Potential surface scuffs from being stored in a multi-card binder page without penny sleeves.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform for a single base card like this. COMC is excellent for low-value cards to save on shipping, or it can be sold as part of a Yankees team lot on Facebook marketplace.
Selling Tips
Due to high grading costs and the abundance of this card, grading is only recommended if the card is flawlessly centered and surface-perfect (contending for a PSA 10). For a raw sale, use high-resolution scans of both front and back. List as '2007 Topps Derek Jeter #40 Yankees HOF'.
