1982 Topps Dwight Clark 'In Action' #489 Football Card

This is a vintage 1982 Topps football card featuring Dwight Clark, a notable wide receiver for the San Francisco 49ers. The card belongs to the specific 'In Action' subset, as indicated by the bold pink 'IN ACTION' text at the bottom. Measuring approximately 2.5 by 3.5 inches, it is printed on traditional cardboard stock common for the early 1980s. The design features a white border with an inner orange frame surrounding an action photograph of Clark in his red #87 jersey and gold helmet. The Topps logo is visible in the upper right corner. Regarding condition, physical assessment reveals minor softening of the corners and slight off-center alignment, which was common during this era's production. There are no major creases visible through the clear protective sleeve, though some surface scuffs on the plastic holder may obscure fine surface details. This card is a significant piece of 49ers memorabilia, released shortly after Clark's iconic play known as 'The Catch,' which elevated his status as a sports legend. The craftsmanship is typical of high-volume commercial offset lithography from the period.
