Description
A classic 1974 Topps Traded card featuring pitcher Diego Segui in his Boston Red Sox cap. The card design features the iconic 'TRADED' banner in bold red text across a yellow background, a hallmark of the mid-70s Topps update sets. The card utilizes the standard 1974 design with rounded frame borders and clear player position/team callouts.
Key Features
Includes the 'TRADED' designation which was a precursor to the modern 'Update' sets. Diego Segui is notable for being the only player to play for both the Seattle Pilots (1969) and the Seattle Mariners (1977) in their inaugural seasons.
Authenticity Indicators
Authentic. The card shows correct 1974 Topps card stock thickness and printing patterns (Ben-Day dots in the photo). Confidence: High. This is not a commonly faked card due to lower market value.
Flaws to Note
Obvious centering issues (heavy toward left and bottom). Top right corner shows significant wear/ding. General aging/discoloration on the white card stock. Minor surface scuffing in the black banner areas.
Selling Guide

Selling Tips
