This is a 1975 Topps baseball card featuring Hall of Famer George Brett, card number 228, which serves as his rookie card. The card front displays a portrait of Brett in a Kansas City Royals uniform, set within a distinctive green and purple two-tone border. Text includes “ROYALS” in pink and “GEORGE BRETT” in white, with a “3rd Base” baseball graphic in the upper right corner. The front is hand-signed by George Brett in black ink across the player’s jersey. The reverse side features Brett’s biographical information, major and minor league batting records from 1971 through 1974, and a cartoon titled “PLAY ‘A SQUEEZE'”. The copyright at the bottom identifies the manufacturer as Topps Chewing Gum, Inc., printed in the U.S.A. in 1975. The card is housed in a clear Ultra PRO magnetic one-touch protective holder.
Condition report:
The card is in ungraded, raw condition. Front centering is shifted towards the bottom-left corner, while the reverse centering is shifted towards the top-right corner. The corners show minor softening and light wear consistent with age. Edges appear relatively clean with some minor shelf wear. The card surface maintains vibrant color, and the after-market signature is bold and clearly legible without visible fading or smudging.
