Description
Classic 1970 Topps Football card featuring Cincinnati Bengals kicker Horst Muhlmann. The card design boasts a vibrant red border with a cartoon kicker illustration on the bottom left and the 'BENGALS' team name in bright green block letters. Muhlmann is depicted in his maroon Bengals jersey #68.
Key Features
Vintage 1970 design, notable specialist player for the early Cincinnati Bengals franchise, part of the widely collected 1970 poster-style border set.
Authenticity Indicators
Authenticity Confidence: High. Card shows period-correct card stock, age-appropriate oxidation on the back (not pictured but inferred from edge wear), and standard 1970 Topps printing patterns. Not a high-risk for counterfeiting.
Flaws to Note
Significant edge chipping especially on the top and left borders, soft and rounded corners, minor surface wear, and centering is slightly shifted to the left and top.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (as a Buy It Now) or COMC. This is a low-value common card mainly useful for collectors finishing a specific set.
Selling Tips
