Description
This is the reverse side of Marv Hubbard's 1972 Topps football card. The back features a green and blue color scheme with a cartoon illustration highlighting his college degree. It includes his career rushing statistics for the Oakland Raiders from 1969 to 1971 and a biographical paragraph detailing his accomplishments at Colgate and in the Atlantic Coast League.
Key Features
Features a 3-time Pro Bowl fullback for the John Madden-era Oakland Raiders. 1972 is a popular high-number set for collectors, though this specific card is from the low numbers.
Authenticity Indicators
Correct card stock texture for the era; 'T.C.G.' and 'PRTD. IN U.S.A.' markings are consistent with authentic 1972 Topps production. Confidence: High.
Flaws to Note
Heavy rounding on all four corners, particularly noticeable top-left (on reverse). Significant edge wear and chipping along the bottom and right borders. Surface shows age-related toning and small dark speckling (soiling).
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (as a low-cost 'Buy It Now' with free shipping) or COMC. High-volume card shows would also be a good place for a 'dollar box' placement.
Selling Tips
Due to the low value and high wear, it is not recommended to grade this card. Authenticate the front condition; if the front is clean, list it as a budget filler for set builders.
