Description
A classic 1979 Topps league leaders card featuring the AL and NL steals champions. The card displays Ron LeFlore of the Detroit Tigers on the left and Omar Moreno of the Pittsburgh Pirates on the right. It features the signature 1979 Topps design with dual player portraits and a '1978 Stolen Base Leaders' banner at the bottom.

Includes two of the most prolific base stealers of the late 70s; unique horizontal dual-player design; part of the historically significant 1979 Topps set (Ozzie Smith rookie year).
Authenticity Indicators
Genuine card stock with classic grey-brown back (typical for late 70s Topps); correct halftoning/printing dot patterns in the player photos; period-accurate typography. Confidence: High.
Flaws to Note
Significant centering issues with a very thin top border; visible corner rounding on all four corners; light edge wear appearing along the bottom; possible surface foxing/discoloration in the white borders.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (as part of a set or lot) or COMC. It is not currently worth the cost of professional grading for individual sale.
Selling Tips
Sell this card as part of a '1979 Topps Team Set' for the Tigers or Pirates, or as a bundle with other 1979 leader cards. If selling individually, use a 'Plain White Envelope' (PWE) shipping method to keep costs lower than the card's value.
