Description
This is a 1979 Topps baseball card #413, titled 'Top All-Time Records Home Runs.' The card features a comprehensive list of the highest seasonal and career home run totals as of the end of the 1978 season. Notable legends listed include Babe Ruth, Hank Aaron, and Mickey Mantle. The card utilizes the classic 1979 Topps design with a solid border and clear statistical typography on the reverse.
Key Features
Includes a 'Who's Who' of Hall of Fame legends on a single card; classic 1970s Topps design; great for player collectors of Ruth, Aaron, or Mantle looking to complete master sets.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. The 'F*' print mark, the characteristic greenish-gray recycled card stock of the late 70s, and the specific typeface used by Topps are all present. Not a commonly counterfeited card due to its lower base value.
Flaws to Note
Centering is slightly shifted toward the top-left on the reverse. There is minor edge wear visible on the right side and light whitening on the corners common for 45-year-old vintage card stock.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform for this specific card, as it reaches the widest audience of set builders and player-specific collectors.
Selling Tips
Since the raw value is low, this card is best sold as part of a lot or a 'pick your card' listing to save on shipping. If sold individually, use a non-machinable envelope (eBay Standard Envelope) to keep costs down and provide tracking.
