Topps Dan Marino Appraisal

1996 Topps Football Dan Marino 'Record Numbers' Insert Card #RN4

This is a 1996 Topps 'Record Numbers' insert trading card featuring Hall of Fame quarterback Dan Marino of the Miami Dolphins. The card commemorates his achievement of 408 career touchdown passes, a record prominently displayed in the background graphic. Physically, the card is constructed of standard 20pt cardstock with a white-bordered perimeter. The central design features an action photograph of Marino in his home white jersey and aqua pants, set against a vibrant, multi-colored background with starburst and prismatic effects. The text 'RECORD NUMBERS' is printed in large, silver-toned bold letters at the bottom, above a purple name banner for 'DAN MARINO.' The Topps logo is visible in the upper left corner. In terms of condition, the card is currently housed in a top-loader protective sleeve. The centering appears slightly heavy toward the left and top borders. The corners appear sharp from this perspective, and the surface shows no immediate signs of deep scratching or creasing, though minor surface wear is typical for high-gloss cards of this mid-90s era. The printing registration remains crisp with vibrant color saturation.
