Description
A vintage 1965 Topps Bill Pleis card featuring the iconic pennant design in the bottom left corner. Pleis is shown in a Minnesota Twins uniform with a pinstriped home jersey and classic 'TC' cap. The card has a purple nameplate bar and a yellow pennant logo.
Key Features
Vintage 1960s Topps design; Minnesota Twins team history; collectible 'pennant' design year; features a player from the 1965 World Series Twins team.
Authenticity Indicators
Authenticity confidence: High. The cardboard stock aging, color saturation, and commonality of this specific player align with genuine 1965 Topps production. Not a commonly counterfeited card.
Flaws to Note
Significant corner rounding and paper loss (fraying) in upper left and bottom left corners. Heavy edge wear throughout. Visible surface staining/dirt on the right border and background. Off-center left-to-right. Multiple creases and softenings of the card stock are apparent.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (as part of a lot), COMC, or local card shop bulk bins. Not worth individual auction house submission.
Selling Tips
Due to the low condition and the fact that Bill Pleis is a common player rather than a Hall of Famer, this card is best sold as part of a 1965 Topps team set or a bulk vintage starter lot. Do not grade this card, as the grading fees ($19+) will far exceed the card's market value.
