Description
This is a 1977 Topps football card featuring New York Giants Defensive End Jack Gregory. The card back features a pink and grey color scheme common to the set, highlighting Gregory's tenure with the Giants and his collegiate career at Delta State and Chattanooga. It includes his impressive 1972 sack total (21) and collegiate 'College Corner' trivia section.
Key Features
Includes mention of his 21-sack season in 1972 (pre-official NFL sack era); desirable vintage Topps design; collectible for NY Giants team historians or defensive end specialists.
Authenticity Indicators
Authenticity Confidence: High. Correct cardboard stock thickness/porosity for the late 70s; pink ink bleed characteristic of Topps printing; 'PRTD. IN U.S.A.' and copyright symbols match known authentic samples.
Flaws to Note
Slight right-side centering bias on the reverse. Potential for common surface'snow' or ink specks typical of 1977 Topps stock. Edges appear reasonably clean but must be checked for chipping on the front green/white border.

Where to Sell
eBay (as a PWE/Standard Envelope listing), COMC (Check Out My Cards) for long-term storage and easy sale to set builders, or Sportlots.
Selling Tips
