Career Retrospective Card Appraisal

Reggie Jackson Autographed Baseball Card (Triple Play/Career Retrospective)

This item is a baseball trading card featuring legendary player Reggie Jackson, titled 'REGGIE' at the top in a bold, serif font. The card depicts three different renditions of Reggie Jackson in various team uniforms from his career, arranged to show a progression or different aspects of his playing days. On the left, he is shown in what appears to be a white and blue uniform, possibly representing his time with the Kansas City / Oakland Athletics, holding a baseball bat over his shoulder. The central figure is in an Oakland Athletics green and gold uniform, also holding a bat, with a focused expression. The figure on the right is depicted in a classic New York Yankees pinstripe uniform, mid-swing. Below these figures, four different baseball caps are arranged, likely symbolizing teams Jackson played for: one yellow/gold, one orange and black (Baltimore Orioles), a navy blue with white 'NY' (New York Yankees), and a red cap. The background of the card is a warm, solid brown or tan color, creating a vintage aesthetic. The card is observably encapsulated in a clear, rigid plastic slab, acting as a protector or holder. A significant feature is the blue ink autograph of 'Reggie Jackson' scrawled across the lower left portion of the card, crossing over the figure in the white and blue uniform and the yellow cap. The autograph appears to be sharp and clear. While the back of the card is not visible, making exact manufacturing details difficult to ascertain, its design suggests a career retrospective baseball card, likely from the late 1980s to early 2000s, given the typical style of such cards. The condition of the card itself, based on the visible front, appears to be well-preserved within its protective case, with no obvious creases, tears, or significant wear visible on the card's surface. The plastic holder shows common surface reflections but no apparent damage affecting the card. The autograph adds significant value and authenticity to this collectible item, indicating a direct interaction with the athlete. The overall presentation suggests a high-quality collectible aimed at fans and sports memorabilia enthusiasts.
