Condition Details
The centering is slightly shifted to the left and bottom. There are visible surface scratches on the protective top loader, but the card underneath appears to have sharp corners. Some minor edge whitening is possible upon closer inspection. The glossy finish typical of the Tiffany set is visible.
Grading Recommendation
Highly recommended for grading if the surface is free of scratches. This card is from the limited 'Tiffany' set (approx. 30,000 units), making it significantly more valuable than the standard base rookie. Even an 8 or 9 will yield a substantial profit over shipping and grading fees.
Card Description
The card features a close-up portrait of Bo Jackson in a Kansas City Royals cap and jersey, holding a bat. It has the iconic 1987 wood-grain border design on the edges (though cropped in the photo) and the 'Tiffany' version is distinguished by its high-gloss front and brighter white cardstock on the back.
Notable Features
Rookie Card (RC). Distinguished as a 'Tiffany' version by the bright white back and high-gloss front coating. Bo Jackson is a legendary multi-sport athlete (MLB/NFL).
Authentication Notes
The high-gloss finish and the bright, clean white appearance of the internal cardstock visible near edges indicate this is a genuine Topps Tiffany. Standard 1987 Topps cards use a much darker, brownish-grey recycled cardboard stock.
