Description
A classic 1977 Topps football card featuring Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Bob Moore. The reverse side features a pink and brown color scheme with detailed receiving records from 1971-1976 (Raiders and Buccaneers). It includes a 'College Corner' blurb about his time at Stanford University and his 1971 Rose Bowl performance. Printed on secondary cardboard stock common for the era.
Key Features
Features Bob Moore during the inaugural years of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers franchise. This set is known for its iconic design and is a favorite among set builders and Stanford University alumni collectors.
Authenticity Indicators
Authenticity confidence: High. The card shows correct 1977 Topps printing patterns, the characteristic 'brown' cardboard stock of the late 70s, and the specific typography used by Topps during this period. Not a common target for counterfeiting.
Flaws to Note
Top-heavy centering on the reverse; minor corner wear; standard vintage cardboard edge chipping. Potential for unseen front-side centering issues or surface scratches.

Selling Tips
Due to the high cost of grading ($19+ per card), it is not financially viable to grade this card unless it is a perfect PSA 10 candidate. Sell raw in a plain white envelope (PWE) to keep shipping costs low for the buyer. Use keywords: '1977 Topps', 'Tampa Bay Buccaneers', 'Stanford Cardinal'.
