Condition Grade
Estimated PSA 6 (EX-MT). The centering on the reverse is slightly shifted toward the bottom-left. Corners appear relatively sharp for a raw card of this age, but the grainy grey card stock used in 1979 often hides surface abrasions and edge chipping.

Description
A well-preserved reverse side of the 1979 Topps #413 Home Run record holders card. The back features a green and grey color scheme detailing 'Highest Seasonal Totals' and 'Highest Career Totals' as of 1979. Iconic names like Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle, and Hank Aaron are listed. The card stock is the characteristic 1979 rough grey paper, and the layout includes the classic 'Top All-Time Records' graphic in the upper-left corner.
Key Features
Includes a 'Who's Who' list of Hall of Fame legends. While not a primary card for any of these players, it is a collectible subset that appeals to 'All-Time Greats' collectors and set builders.
Authenticity Indicators
Authenticity confidence: High. Features the correct matte, porous grey card stock of the late 70s Topps era. The print pattern and fonts match the 1979 production run exactly; this specific card is rarely counterfeited as it is a common card.
Flaws to Note
The centering on the back is roughly 60/40 or 70/30 toward the bottom and left edges. Minor edge roughing is visible on the right side. Grade will depend heavily on the front condition (not shown), which commonly suffers from poor centering and print 'snow'.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold on eBay (as a 'Buy It Now' with a low shipping cost like eBay Standard Envelope) or COMC (Check Out My Cards) for set builders.
Selling Tips
Due to the low value of a raw common card, grading is not recommended unless the front is perfectly centered and the card is flawless (potential PSA 9/10). List this using keywords like '1979 Topps 413 Mickey Mantle Babe Ruth Hank Aaron Records'.
