Description
Featured is a 1983 Topps Football card representing the Washington Redskins. The card title 'KNOCKING THEM DOWN ONE-BY-ONE' highlights the team's dominant style. The photo shows a live-action shot of the offensive line and backfield in their classic white jerseys and gold pants.

Key Features
Features the 1982 Super Bowl XVII Championship team; includes legendary Hall of Famers like John Riggins and Art Monk in the team photo; iconic 80s Topps design.
Authenticity Indicators
Confidence: High. Standard 1983 Topps cardboard stock with 'gray-back' characteristics. The dot-matrix printing pattern in the orange borders is consistent with authentic Topps production from this era. This card is not commonly counterfeited due to its low market value.
Flaws to Note
Significant right-side centering bias; soft bottom-right corner with a small ding; rough cut on the top edge; visible surface wear typical of unrestored 80s card stock.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (as a low-cost BIN or part of a team lot), COMC, or local card shop bulk bins.
Selling Tips
This card is not a candidate for professional grading due to centering and corner wear. Listing it as part of a 'Washington Redskins Team Set' or a '1983 Topps Starter Lot' will increase the likelihood of a sale. Use 'Free Shipping' in a Plain White Envelope (PWE) to remain competitive.
