Description
Offering a classic 1987 Topps baseball card featuring multi-sport legend Bo Jackson of the Kansas City Royals. This iconic base card features the distinctive wood-grain border design characteristic of the 1987 Topps set, displaying a clear portrait photo of Jackson wearing his Royals uniform with the team name boldly printed at the top and his name and position at the bottom.
Key Features
Features one of the most iconic and beloved dual-sport athletes in sports history (NFL and MLB All-Star). The 1987 Topps wood-grain design is a massively popular and nostalgic set for vintage collectors.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence in authenticity. Standard 1987 Topps card stock, correct font types, and proper color saturation. Not a heavily counterfeited card due to high production print runs.
Flaws to Note
Slight corner softening noted on the upper left corner, typical wear for raw cards of this era, and minor centering shifts.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay, COMC, or local card shops due to lower raw price points.
Selling Tips
Best sold raw unless part of a bulk grading submission, as the grading cost typically outweighs the value increase for lower-grade 1987 base cards. Ship securely in a penny sleeve and top loader inside a bubble mailer.
