Description
Offering a 1981 Topps Dave Stieb base card, number 510, featuring the Toronto Blue Jays star pitcher. The card design showcases a crisp white border with 'BLUE JAYS' vertically printed in blue on the left side, a primary action photo of Stieb holding his glove, a secondary inset portrait photo over a yellow background, and the player's name and position at the bottom right. A great vintage addition for any Toronto Blue Jays or 1980s baseball card collector.
Key Features
Features Dave Stieb, the premier pitcher in the early franchise history of the Toronto Blue Jays, a seven-time All-Star, and author of the franchise's first no-hitter. Part of the iconic 1981 Topps base set.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence in authenticity. Standard 1981 Topps card stock thickness, correct font typography, proper gloss and registration, and no common markers of modern counterfeits or trimming.
Flaws to Note
Noticeable left-heavy centering on the front border. Minor corner softness and slight edge wear typical of 1981 Topps cards which are notoriously prone to centering and print quality issues.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay or COMC (Check Out My Cards) are best suited for lower-value vintage cards like this due to broad buyer reach for set builders.
Selling Tips
Due to the low raw market value, it is not economically viable to professionally grade this card (grading fees would exceed the card's total value). Sell raw in a penny sleeve and top loader using standard eBay auction or fixed-price listings with clear scans.
