Description
This is a 1989 Topps baseball card featuring the Houston Astros team leaders with a distinct wood-grain border design popular in the late 1980s. The card features a group of players in Astros uniforms celebrating on the field, with the Topps logo in the upper right and 'ASTROS LEADERS' printed in blue block letters at the bottom. Note that this card has a severe horizontal crease splitting the middle.
Key Features
Features the iconic 1989 Topps wood-grain border design and potential inclusion of Hall of Fame pitcher Nolan Ryan depending on the checklist context, making it a nostalgic piece for 80s set builders.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence in authenticity based on standard 1989 Topps card stock, wood-grain borders, and font style. Not a high-value target for counterfeiters.
Flaws to Note
A major, highly visible horizontal crease or indent runs completely across the center of the card from left to right. This severely impacts structural integrity and prevents any mid-to-high grade.

Selling Tips
Do not grade this card, as grading fees will far exceed the card's total value. Best sold raw as part of a team set lot or bulk offering.
