Topps Renaldo Nehemiah Appraisal

1983 Topps Renaldo Nehemiah San Francisco 49ers Football Card #241

This is a vintage 1983 Topps American football card featuring Renaldo Nehemiah, wide receiver for the San Francisco 49ers. The card follows the standard 2.5 by 3.5-inch rectangular format on cardboard stock. The design is characteristic of the 1983 Topps set, featuring a thick white outer border and a thinner green inner border. The top of the card displays the team name '49ERS' in large, outlined block lettering. The central image is a colorful action shot of Nehemiah in his red jersey and silver helmet, positioned as if preparing to catch a ball. At the bottom, his name and position 'WR' are encased in a yellow box with black text. Regarding condition, the card exhibits slightly soft corners and some edge wear, which is typical for hobby items of this era. The centering appears slightly shifted toward the top left. The color remains vibrant, and there are no immediate signs of creasing or staining visible on the front surface. This card is notable because Nehemiah was a world-record-holding hurdler before joining the NFL, making this 'rookie year era' card a crossover interest piece for track and field fans as well as football collectors.
