1986 Topps Jerry Rice Rookie Card #161

This is a vintage 1986 Topps football card featuring the legendary San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jerry Rice, widely considered his true rookie card. The card displays a high-action portrait of Rice in his 49ers uniform and helmet. Physically, the card features the iconic 1986 Topps design with a green-and-white 'Topps All Pro' logo in the bottom left corner and a small San Francisco 49ers helmet icon. The player's name, 'Jerry Rice', and position, 'WR', are printed in bold black text on an orange banner background at the bottom. The Topps brand logo is visible in the upper right corner of the inner photo frame. The card appears to be housed in a clear protective sleeve and a rigid top-loader plastic case for preservation. Regarding condition, the centering appears relatively balanced but leans slightly toward the top-left margin. The corners show slight softening typical of non-graded vintage stock, and the white borders show some minor chipping or aging. The card exhibits the classic matte cardstock finish of the mid-1980s. This item is a key piece of sports memorabilia from the late 20th century, representing one of the most significant rookie cards in the hobby due to Rice's standing as the NFL's all-time leading receiver.
