Description
This 1969-70 Topps card features the legendary 'Golden Jet' Bobby Hull in his prime with the Chicago Black Hawks. The card design is iconic for the era, featuring a 'Tall Boy' style aesthetic with a vertical oval portrait of Hull in his red jersey set against a light blue background. The card includes the 'Black Hawks' team name in red bubble letters at the top and a small team logo at the bottom right. This specific example shows heavy wear consistent with a beloved vintage collection.
Key Features
Hall of Fame player Bobby Hull; vintage Topps hockey era; highly collectible Chicago Black Hawks history; 'Golden Jet' prime-year card.
Authenticity Indicators
The cardboard stock shows age-appropriate fiber yellowing; the 'Black Hawks' bubble text print quality is consistent with late 60s Topps lithography. Confidence is High that this is an original vintage card based on the natural wear patterns and print dot structure.
Flaws to Note
The card has significant structural damage including a heavy horizontal crease across the center right, severe edge wear, and noticeably rounded corners. There are surface stains and dirt throughout the white borders, and centering is shifted towards the right. These defects will limit the grade to the 'Poor' or 'Fair' category.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform for this card due to its lower condition grade; a 'Buy It Now' with 'Best Offer' or a low-starting auction would attract vintage collectors looking for fillers.
Selling Tips
Be very transparent about the crease and rounded corners in your photos. Use the term 'Filler' or 'Good for its age' in the title. Do not grade this card, as the grading fees would likely exceed the final market value of a PSA 1. Ships in a penny sleeve and rigid top loader inside a cardboard mailer.
