Description
This is the 1972 Topps Leader card for the 1971 NFC Pass Receiving Leaders. The card back features a checklist of the top 10 receivers in the conference, headlined by Bob Tucker of the New York Giants. The design features a classic lime green interior within a blue and white border, characteristic of the 1972 Topps football reverse design.
Key Features
Includes several notable 1970s stars including Harold Jackson and Gene Washington. It is part of the sought-after 1972 Topps set, known for its vibrant psychedelic front designs and classic statistical leader subsets.
Authenticity Indicators
Authenticity confidence is High. The card displays the correct 'T.C.G. PRTD. IN U.S.A.' copyright marking, age-appropriate cardboard stock texture, and standard Topps 1972 green/blue ink saturation.
Flaws to Note
Significant centering issues (OC), rounded corners, and fuzzy edges. The card stock shows light toning and age-related wear. No major creases are visible from the rear, but surface wear is consistent with a low-to-mid grade vintage card.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform for this low-value vintage card. It could also be sold in a 'value bin' at a local card show or as part of a 1972 Topps team/set lot.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card; the cost of grading significantly exceeds the market value of the card in this condition. List it with '1972 Topps Leaders' in the title and provide clear photos of both sides. Use a standard envelope (eBay Standard Envelope) for cheap shipping to make the price attractive to set builders.
