1981 Donruss Rollie Fingers Baseball Card #179

This is a 1981 Donruss baseball card featuring Hall of Fame pitcher Rollie Fingers during his tenure with the San Diego Padres. The card measures approximately 2.5 by 3.5 inches and is constructed of standard light-cardstock popular during the early 1980s. The front face features a full-color photograph of Fingers wearing a vintage yellow and brown Padres uniform, showcasing his iconic handlebar mustache while holding a Rawlings fielder's glove. The design includes the inaugural 'Donruss 81' logo in the upper left corner and the team name 'Padres' in bold yellow script at the bottom right. The centering of the card appears shifted toward the top and right edges, which is a common manufacturing characteristic of the 1981 Donruss set. Visible condition issues include slight softening or rounding of the corners, particularly the top right, and minor edge wear. There is a noticeable dark smudge or surface imperfection near the bottom-left edge below the glove. This item represents the first year Donruss produced baseball cards, making it a significant piece for sports collectors. The card is currently housed in a plastic protective sleeve, which has preserved much of the original gloss and ink vibrancy.
