1978 Topps Joe Greene #210 Football Trading Card

This is a vintage 1978 Topps football card featuring the legendary Pittsburgh Steelers defensive tackle, 'Mean' Joe Greene. The card displays the classic design of the 1978 set, characterized by an orange and white border with vertical 'STEELERS' text on the left and the player name at the top. The image features a close-up action shot of Greene in his black and gold jersey and home helmet. A small pink football icon in the lower right corner denotes his position as 'DT'. Physically, the card presents significant centering issues, being heavily shifted toward the top edge. The corners show visible softening and rounding, particularly at the bottom left. There is a noticeable orange ink stain or print defect appearing on the white jersey number '7' and additional minor surface wear consistent with a 40-plus-year-old card that has been stored in a plastic binder sleeve. The card is printed on standard cardboard stock of the era with a matte finish on the reverse. Despite the centering and corner wear, the colors remain relatively vibrant, and the photographic clarity is typical for the period. This specimen would likely grade in the mid-to-lower range of the professional grading scale due to the technical flaws in centering and corner integrity.
