Lynn Mcglothen Card Appraisal

1972 Topps Lynn McGlothen Baseball Card

This item is a 1972 Topps baseball trading card featuring Lynn McGlothen, a pitcher for the Boston Red Sox. The card is rectangular, made of printed cardstock, and displays a color portrait of McGlothen wearing a dark baseball cap with a red 'B' logo and a green brim. He is also wearing a white jersey. The background behind the player is a solid light blue. The card's borders are white, with some evidence of slight discoloration or aging along the edges, particularly visible in the top left and right corners, suggesting some minor wear and tear consistent with its estimated age. The corners appear to be somewhat rounded, indicating handling. At the bottom of the card, in a blocky, sans-serif font, his name 'LYNN McGLOTHEN' is printed in red, followed by 'BOSTON RED SOX' in blue. To the right of his name, there is a circular graphic featuring a silhouetted baseball player in a pitching stance against a red background, with the word 'PITCHER' beneath it in black lettering. The overall condition appears to be good to very good, with no major creases or rips visible on the front, but minor edge wear and corner rounding are present which is typical for a card of this vintage that has been handled. The printing quality is consistent with Topps cards from the 1970s, featuring a slightly glossy finish on the image side.
