Description
A classic 1977 Topps card features Miami Dolphins legendary offensive lineman Bob Kuechenberg. The reverse side (shown) highlights his 1975 All-Pro honors, his bench press strength of 430 lbs, and his standout performance in Super Bowl VIII. The back features a pink and grey color scheme with the 'College Corner' logo noting his history at Notre Dame.
Key Features
Features a key member of the undefeated 1972 Miami Dolphins and 6-time Pro Bowler. Iconic 1977 design with retro typography and 'College Corner' subset info.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. Correct card stock thickness for the era, legitimate 'grey-back' cardboard texture, and authentic typography bleeding consistent with 1977 printing techniques.
Flaws to Note
Centering is biased toward the left edge. Bottom left corner shows a tiny touch of wear. Traditional 1970s rough-cut edges are present but acceptable.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (standard envelope), COMC, or Sportlots. This is a common card that sells best as part of a lot or to a specific team collector.
Selling Tips
Due to the low value of raw common cards from this era, grading is not recommended unless the front is perfectly centered and mint. List with 'Miami Dolphins' and 'Notre Dame' in the keywords. Use eBay Standard Envelope for $1.00 shipping to maximize buyer interest on low-value items.
