Description
This is the back of a 1972 Topps Chris Farasopoulos card #36. The 1972 Topps design features a dual-color border on the reverse with biographical information, a 'Kickoff Return Record' table, and a small cartoon illustration. This specific card represents Farasopoulos during his tenure as a Safety and Kickoff Returner for the New York Jets.
Key Features
Vintage 1972 Topps design; features BYU standout and Jets return specialist; notable for the iconic 1972 high-series set era (though this is a lower number card).
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. The cardboard stock shows the correct grey/tan pulp texture typical of 1970s Topps issues. The 'PRTD. IN U.S.A.' and copyright symbols match genuine 1972 press runs.
Flaws to Note
Significant edge wear and chipping along all four sides; softening and rounding of all four corners; centering appears shifted slightly toward the top; surface shows visible age-related toning and minor spotting.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay as a 'Buy It Now' or as part of a 1972 Topps team set or starter lot; COMC for slow-burn sales to set builders.
Selling Tips
As a common player in mid-to-low grade, this card is not worth the cost of professional grading. It is best sold to a New York Jets team collector or someone attempting to complete the 1972 Topps master set. Use a non-machinable envelope to save on shipping costs for low-value items.
