Recent sales of mid-grade 1975 Topps Maddox cards range from $1.00 to $3.00. High-grade PSA 9 examples can reach $50-70, but this specific card is a low-grade filler copy worth current nominal market rates for commons.
Description
A vintage 1975 Topps baseball card featuring New York Yankees outfielder Elliott Maddox. The card features a classic mid-70s design with 'YANKEES' in large block letters at the top and a blue 'OUTFIELD' banner. The image shows a portrait of Maddox in his Yankees pinstripes with a facsimile autograph across the bottom of the photo.
Key Features
New York Yankees historical card; classic 1975 Topps photography and design; feature card for a key defensive outfielder during the mid-70s Yankees era.
Authenticity Indicators
Authentic period card stock; correct dot matrix printing patterns under magnification; age-appropriate tanning on the reverse; correct facsimile signature ink opacity. Confidence: High.
Flaws to Note
Heavy surface creasing (notably through the player's face/forehead); significant edge wear and corner rounding; significant top-edge scuffing; centered slightly high. These defects would likely result in a 'Poor' or 'Fair' technical grade.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (as a low-cost single or in a Yankees/75 Topps lot), COMC, or local card shop bulk bins.
Selling Tips
Due to the significant condition issues, this card is best sold as part of a 1975 Topps team set or a bulk lot of 1970s commons. The cost of grading exceeds the market value of the card by a wide margin; keep this raw. Use 'Vintage Yankees Common' in the title.
