Description
This 1981 Topps Matt Keough card features the Oakland Athletics pitcher in his iconic high-leg kick delivery. The design includes the classic 1981 Topps 'baseball' logo in the bottom left corner with the A's logo and a yellow nameplate at the bottom. The card displays vibrant team colors and a crisp action shot.
Key Features
Features a member of the 'Five Aces' of the early 80s Oakland A's. Part of a classic early 80s Topps set known for its simple, clean design and iconic photography.
Authenticity Indicators
Authenticity is High. The card stock shows the correct greyish-brown cardboard texture of early 80s Topps, and the lithographic dot pattern on the green Athletics jersey is consistent with 1981 production methods.
Flaws to Note
Centering is shifted towards the right border. Top right corner shows visible wear. Minor surface fuzzing is visible on the top edge of the card stock.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold as a 'filler' card on COMC (Check Out My Cards) or as part of a team lot on eBay. Listing individually on eBay is generally not cost-effective due to shipping and fees relative to the card's value.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card; the grading fees will significantly exceed the market value of a PSA 6 or 7. Sell as part of an 'Oakland A's Vintage Lot' to maximize interest. Use 'Plain White Envelope' (PWE) shipping for low-value singles to keep costs down for buyers.
