Description
This is the reverse side of card #157 from the 1977 Topps Football set featuring Atlanta Falcons Quarterback Scott Hunter. The card features a standard vertical layout on classic gray/brown cardboard stock. The top section contains biographical info, followed by a 'Passing Record' reflecting his time with the Packers, Bills, and Falcons. The lower section includes a trivia 'College Corner' mentioning his career at the University of Alabama, set against a vibrant pink graphic representative of the 1977 design.
Key Features
Features a recognizable design from the late 70s Topps era. Includes career statistics for a quarterback who played for the legendary Paul 'Bear' Bryant at Alabama and later for the Green Bay Packers and Atlanta Falcons.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. The card stock is the appropriate coarse gray/brown typical of 1977 Topps. The copyright line at the bottom correctly cites '1977 TOPPS CHEWING GUM INC. PRTD IN U.S.A.' with the correct font and ink bleeding characteristics for the era.
Flaws to Note
Centering is slightly off-center (heavy to the bottom/left on the reverse). Visible corner wear on the bottom right and top left. Minor surface toning or 'foxing' potential due to the high-acid paper stock used in 1977.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (as a low-cost 'Buy It Now' item), Sportlots, or COMC. It is best sold as part of a lot of 1970s cards or as a team/school specific lot (Falcons or Alabama).
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card individually; the cost of grading ($19+) far exceeds the market value. When listing, use keywords like '1977 Topps Football', 'Scott Hunter', 'Atlanta Falcons', and 'Alabama Crimson Tide' to attract school-specific collectors.
