BID PER WHAT YOU SEE IN THE PHOTO, NOT THE AI GENERATED TITLES AND DESCRIPTIONS! Baseball Bob Gibson 1961 Topps #211 St. Louis Cardinals
This is a vintage 1961 Topps baseball card featuring Hall of Fame pitcher Bob Gibson of the St. Louis Cardinals, card number 211. The card presents a horizontal close-up portrait of Gibson on the front, accented by a yellow nameplate and a green team box. The reverse side, printed on light green and yellow cardstock, contains Gibson’s complete major and minor league pitching records through the 1960 season. It also includes biographical data and three cartoon panels detailing facts about his early career, such as his tenure with the Harlem Globetrotters. This is an original English language card from the 1961 Topps base set.
Condition report:
This card is ungraded and currently housed in a clear plastic top-loader. Centering: The front image is off-center toward the bottom edge (the side featuring the nameplate). Corners: All four corners show visible softening and rounding consistent with age. Edges: The edges appear relatively clean but show minor signs of shelf wear and a few tiny chips typical for this vintage paper stock. Surface: The front portrait maintains good color and clarity; no major creases or deep scratches are immediately apparent through the holder. The back appears clean with no significant staining or aftermarket markings.
