Description
A 1969 Topps Joe Schultz vintage card featuring him as the manager for the Seattle Pilots. The card utilizes the classic 1969 circular name/position bubble in the top right and yellow block lettering for the team name at the bottom. This specific card shows significant wear with heavy folding/creasing across the center and corner roundedness.
Key Features
Features the manager of the short-lived Seattle Pilots franchise; iconic 1969 Topps 'circle' design; high-number card series (#584) which are typically rarer than low-number cards.
Authenticity Indicators
Authenticity confidence is High. The card stock shows appropriate age-related toning, and the 'dot-pattern' printing process consistent with late 60s Topps is present. This is not a commonly counterfeited card due to its low market value.
Flaws to Note
Extensive surface creasing across the forehead and chest of the subject; heavy edge wear and corner rounding; top left corner has significant paper loss/delamination; surface staining and dirt visible on borders.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (as a low-cost 'filler' card), COMC, or local card shop bulk bins. Best suited for set-builders looking for inexpensive high-number cards.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card, as the grading fees will far outweigh the market value. List as a 'filler' card for collectors completing the 1969 set. Use a penny sleeve and top loader for protection, but ship via eBay Standard Envelope to keep costs low for the buyer.
