1987 Topps Football Jerry Rice / Todd Christensen #233

This is a 1987 Topps 1986 NFL Receiving Leaders card (number 233) featuring Jerry Rice of the San Francisco 49ers representing the NFC and Todd Christensen of the Los Angeles Raiders representing the AFC. The card is horizontally oriented with a white border. It features two separate action portraits of the athletes in their respective team helmets and jerseys. The left side contains a vertical red banner with the text '1986 NFL RECEIVING LEADERS' in white and blue lettering. The card exhibits typical characteristics of late-1980s mass-produced trading card stock with a matte finish. Centering appears slightly shifted towards the right side. The corners show mild rounding or whitening, particularly evident at the bottom left. The card is currently housed in a clear protective plastic top-loader, which has some superficial surface scuffing but protects the card from further environmental damage. This second-year card for Jerry Rice is a significant piece for football collectors, documenting his early dominance in the league following his 1986 record-breaking season.
