Description
This 1964 Topps Bob Kennedy card features the Chicago Cubs Head Coach in a classic candid pose tipping his cap. The card design is iconic for the era, utilizing a white border, a colorful team pennant in the lower-left corner (Cubs), and the player's name and position in a red block at the bottom. The reverse typically contains biographical information and career statistics.
Key Features
Vintage 1960s Topps design; notable baseball figure Bob Kennedy who served as both a player and a manager/coach; iconic 'pennant' design specific to the 1964 Topps set.
Authenticity Indicators
The card stock, color fading, and specific 'Cubs' pennant logo are consistent with original 1964 Topps production. However, due to the severe damage, it carries no premium. Confidence: High.
Flaws to Note
Severe condition issues: Significant paper loss and a large 'bite' or tear on the left edge. Heavily rounded corners. Visible surface staining and dirt. Significant edge wear and likely creasing. The centering is also shifted towards the right.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold as part of a 'junk' or 'budget' vintage lot on eBay, or in a local card shop's bargain bin. The cost of individual shipping likely exceeds the card's value.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card. The grading fee (approx. $20+) is significantly higher than the card's market value. If selling, list it honestly as 'Filler' or 'Poor condition' for a set builder looking for a cheap placeholder. Use a standard envelope (PWE) to keep shipping costs minimal.
