Key Features
Hall of Fame player (inducted 1991). Iconic 1977 Topps design. Features career statistics through his prime years with the Kansas City Chiefs. One of the few pure kickers in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Authenticity Indicators
Authentic 1977 Topps stock. Correct 'light-brown/grey' cardboard composition. Printing features the standard 1977 dual-asterisk copyright line 'PRTD IN U.S.A.' at the bottom. Patterns of ink absorption are consistent with 1970s letterpress/offset lithography. Confidence: High.
Flaws to Note
The centering on the reverse is shifted toward the top. There is visible softening on the bottom right corner. The edges show slight fiber fraying typical of vintage raw cardstock. Potential for light surface wax staining on the front (not visible in photo).
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (best for single vintage cards), COMC (good for mid-grade vintage), or Sportlots. For high-grade specimens (PSA 8+), specialized sports auctions are preferred.
Selling Tips
Due to the low raw value, grading is only recommended if the front is perfectly centered with razor-sharp corners (potential PSA 8 or higher). For listing, use keywords: '1977 Topps Jan Stenerud', 'Chiefs HOF', 'Kicker'. Ship in a penny sleeve and top loader inside a reinforced envelope.
