Description
Featured is the 1977 Topps Stolen Base Leaders card #6 celebrating the 1976 season leaders Bill North (AL) and Dave Lopes (NL). The card features a dual-portrait design with vibrant 1970s color schemes and the classic Topps card stock. Perfect for team collectors of the Oakland Athletics or Los Angeles Dodgers.
Key Features
Features two of the premier speedsters of the 1970s; Lopes is a legendary figure in Dodgers history. This is part of the popular league leaders subset that kicks off the 1977 set.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. The card stock shows the correct thickness and brown/gray pulp common to the late 70s Topps era. The printing patterns (Ben-Day dots) in the flesh tones are consistent with authentic 1977 lithography.
Flaws to Note
Centering is shifted slightly toward the top (65/35). Minor corner wear visible on the bottom edge. Card surface shows typical light vintage toning/oxidation.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (as a Buy It Now item) or COMC (Check Out My Cards). This is an ideal card for a 'Sportlots' listing or a vintage dollar bin at a local card show.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card; the cost of grading (approx $19-25) far exceeds the market value of a PSA 6 or 7. Sell as a raw vintage single. Include 'A's' and 'Dodgers' in the listing title to capture team collector searches.
