Description
This is the iconic 1987 Topps baseball card featuring Hall of Fame third baseman Wade Boggs of the Boston Red Sox, card number 200. The card features the unmistakable 1980s wood-grain border design, with a full-color action photo of Boggs bent over in a fielding stance on the field. The player's name is boldly printed in black block letters at the bottom, and the classic cursive Topps logo is in the top-left corner.
Key Features
Featuring Hall of Famer Wade Boggs during his prime years with the Boston Red Sox. Part of the legendary 1987 Topps set, which is one of the most widely recognized and nostalgic designs in baseball card history, making complete sets and star cards popular with vintage collectors.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence in authenticity. Standard 1987 Topps card stock, correct font spacing, and typical wood-grain lithography. This card from the junk wax era is rarely counterfeited as it is common and inexpensive.
Flaws to Note
Slightly off-center border favoring the right side on the front. Minor corner softening consistent with handling, though edges appear relatively clean.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay, COMC, or local card shops as part of a bulk lot. Due to low individual value, selling raw singles online requires combining with other cards to offset shipping and platform fees.
Selling Tips
Best sold raw as part of a 1987 Topps set or star lot, since grading costs would far exceed the market value of the card unless it is a guaranteed PSA 10 gem mint copy.
