Description

This is the back of a 1977 Topps Monte Johnson card, featuring his 1973-1976 interception statistics and a summary of his performance for the Oakland Raiders in Super Bowl XI. The card features a grey cardstock typical of the late 70s with pink and black accents.

Key Features

Features a key member of the Super Bowl XI Champion Oakland Raiders defense. Vintage Topps design from the 1970s involving the 'College Corner' subset bio.

Authenticity Indicators

Confidence: High. The card exhibits the correct dot-matrix printing pattern for late 70s Topps, the specific rough-cut edge characteristic of the factory blade, and aged grey cardstock that is difficult to replicate accurately.

Flaws to Note

Minor corner wear visible on all four corners. Slight top-to-bottom centering bias on the reverse. No major creases are visible, but the card stock shows standard age-related toning.

Selling Guide

Where to Sell

Best sold as part of a team set or bulk lot on eBay. Also suitable for 'Common' bins at local card shows or COMC.

Selling Tips

It is not recommended to grade this card individually as the grading fees ($15-$25+) far exceed the market value. Selling as a 'Raiders Team Set' or '1977 Topps Set Filler' is the most effective way to move this item.
