Topps Mats Sundin Appraisal

2000-01 Topps Mats Sundin Hockey Card #36

This is a standard 2.5 by 3.5 inch trading card featuring Mats Sundin of the Toronto Maple Leafs. The card is from the 2000-01 Topps hockey set. It features an action shot of Sundin in his white Maple Leafs away jersey, clearly showing the 'C' captain's patch and number 13. The card design includes a thick light blue border surrounding the central image, with the Topps logo in the upper right corner and the player name prominently displayed in a gold-toned font at the bottom against a textured dark background. The Toronto Maple Leafs team logo is situated in a circular crest on the bottom left. The card is currently housed in a clear plastic top-loader, which appears slightly yellowed or scuffed, but the card itself shows relatively sharp corners and decent centering from a front-facing perspective. There are no obvious creases visible through the holder, though professional grading would be required to confirm surface integrity and edge wear. This era of card is characteristic of the 'modern' trading card period where mass production was beginning to prioritize high-quality photography and semi-gloss finishes.
