Condition Details
Significant damage including a major vertical crease through the center, heavy corner rounding, edge chipping, surface abrasions, and noticeable paper loss on the right border. The card is heavily worn and physically compromised.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The grading fees significantly exceed the value of the card, and the severe physical damage (creases/tears) would result in the lowest possible technical grade.

Notable Features
Features the 1970s Topps 'banner' design; Polonich was known as a gritty 'enforcer' style player for Detroit.
Authentication Notes
The card appears to be an authentic 1978 Topps printing based on the cardboard stock and color saturation, though its high level of wear has obscured some surface detail.
