2012 Topps Football Vernon Davis Card #RR-85

This is a 2012 Topps Football Vernon Davis trading card, part of the 'Red Rock' or 'Tall Boy' style reprint series. The card features Davis in his San Francisco 49ers away uniform, including the white jersey with red numbers and gold trim, and the iconic gold helmet. Davis is depicted in an action pose holding a football. The card's design includes a 'Topps RR' logo in the upper left corner and a textured, maroon football-patterned banner at the bottom containing his name, position (Tight End), team logo, and jersey number (85). Physically, the card appears to be in a plastic protective sleeve. The centering appears slightly heavy toward the left margin. The corners, as viewed through the sleeve, appear relatively sharp, and the color saturation remains vibrant. This specific card design pays homage to the classic 1965 Topps football 'Tall Boy' set, characterized by the distinctive arching nameplate at the base. It is a modern collectible celebrating a prominent Pro Bowl tight end during his peak years with the 49ers franchise. The surface finish is semi-glossy, typical of 2010s-era Topps base and insert products.
