Description
Vintage 1972 Topps Baseball Scratch-Off game insert. This is the reverse play-side of the card featuring a teal/green background with 24 scratchable black boxes used for a simulated baseball game. The bottom contains the Topps Chewing Gum, Inc. copyright and 'PRTD IN U.S.A.' designation. The play grid has been significantly used/scratched, revealing the 'out' and 'save' outcomes beneath.
Key Features
Vintage 1972 Topps insert set; collectible despite being a 'game' piece; features a unique interactive play mechanic used in the early 70s.
Authenticity Indicators
Correct teal ink color for 1972 production; appropriate card stock aging and fiber texture; 'Topps Chewing Gum, Inc.' font matches historical 1972 inserts. High Confidence.
Flaws to Note
Extensive surface wear: the primary 'scratch-off' areas have been rubbed/played, which significantly degrades value. Soft corners, edge chipping, and a surface scuff/sticker residue near the center are visible. Centering is shifted toward the bottom right.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (as part of a lot) or COMC. This card is best sold in a 'filler' lot for set builders since it is in 'used' condition.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card. The cost of the grading fee ($19+) far exceeds the market value of a scratched-off game card. List it as '1972 Topps Scratch-Off Used' and take a clear photo of the front (player side) to identify the specific athlete, as that drives the remaining value.
