Topps Record Breaker Appraisal

1988 Topps 'Record Breaker' Baseball Card

This item is a vintage 1988 Topps 'Record Breaker' baseball card, featuring a player in a blue uniform and helmet, likely a Kansas City Royals or similar team due to the consistent blue and white color scheme. The card's dimensions appear to be standard baseball card size, approximately 2.5 by 3.5 inches, printed on cardstock material. The primary colors are a vivid blue for the player's uniform, white for his pants, and red and white for the 'Record Breaker '88' banner at the top, along with a blue border framing the central image. The image itself depicts a player in action, possibly having just made contact with a ball, with a baseball bat visible near his feet and spectators in the background. The 'Topps' logo is clearly visible in the bottom right corner of the player's image, indicating the manufacturer. The condition of the card shows minor wear consistent with its age, including slight rounding and softening of the corners, particularly noticeable on the top right. There are no obvious creases, tears, or major surface abrasions visible, suggesting it has been reasonably well-preserved, though not in gem-mint condition. The card is a product of the late 1980s, reflecting the style of baseball card production from that era with its glossy finish and classic photographic image. The 'Record Breaker' designation indicates it was part of a specific subset within the 1988 Topps series, highlighting players who achieved significant milestones or set new records. The print quality appears decent, with good color registration for its age.
