The reverse side features career statistics and biographical information in the classic Topps horizontal layout.
Key Features
Features the highly recognizable and nostalgic 1987 Topps wood-grain border design, a staple of junk wax era collecting. Great addition for Detroit Tigers team collectors or 1980s set builders.

Selling Tips
Due to low individual value, it is not cost-effective to grade this card. Best sold as part of a complete 1987 Topps set, a Detroit Tigers team lot, or in a multi-card bulk listing. Ship securely in a penny sleeve and top loader using standard envelope (PWE) or economy shipping.
