Description
This 1976 Topps Willie Randolph rookie card features the future Yankees legend in his iconic pinstripes. Part of the 1976 'multi-player' rookie subset (typically shared, but this is his primary individual rookie year card), the design features a bright orange border and bold red/white text block at the bottom naming him as a Second Baseman.
Key Features
Official Rookie Card of 6-time All-Star and Yankee great Willie Randolph. Iconic 1976 Topps design with vibrant colored borders.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. The card stock shows the characteristic gray/brown recycled paper backing of mid-70s Topps. Printing of the orange border and red text block shows the correct halftone dot pattern. Centering issues are common for this production run.
Flaws to Note
Significant centering issues with the image shifted heavily toward the top edge. Visible rounding on the corners, particularly the bottom left. Edge wear is present on the right side. These factors would prevent a high-grade designation.

Selling Tips
Due to the centering and corner wear, grading is not recommended as the cost of grading will exceed the card's value. List as '1976 Topps Willie Randolph Rookie RC #592' for maximum search visibility. Use a penny sleeve and top-loader for shipping.
