1983 Topps Tony Gwynn Rookie Card #482 (Back)

This item is the reverse side of a 1983 Topps baseball card featuring Tony Gwynn, identified by the card number 482 prominently displayed in the upper left corner. The card has a textured, brownish-orange background with information printed in black and white text. The top section features the player's name, 'TONY GWYNN,' in a large, bold font, alongside biographical details such as height, weight, bats/throws, draft information, birthdate (5-9-60), birthplace (Los Angeles, Calif.), and home city (Long Beach, Calif.). Below this is a 'COMPLETE MAJOR & MINOR LEAGUE BATTING RECORD' table, which lists his statistics for 'YEAR CLUB' including '1981 Walla Walla,' '1982 Amarillo,' 'Hawaii,' and 'Padres,' culminating in 'MAJOR LEA. TOTALS.' The stats include games played (G), at-bats (AB), runs (R), hits (H), doubles (2B), triples (3B), home runs (HR), runs batted in (RBI), stolen bases (SB), slugging percentage (SLG), walks (BB), and batting average (AVG). Notably, his 1982 Padres statistics show 54 games, 190 at-bats, and a .279 batting average. The card also includes '1982 HIGHLIGHTS' below the stats, detailing specific game events like going 2-for-4 with RBI and 3 Runs on July 23, 1982, and his Major League debut on July 19, 1982. A small copyright notice at the bottom reads 'TCG 1983 TOPPS CHEWING GUM, INC. PRTD. IN U.S.A.' The card appears to be encased in a clear rigid plastic holder, indicating it has been protected or prepared for grading, though no grade is visible. The condition of the card itself, based on the visible parts, shows some slight discoloration or 'aging' of the paper typical for cards of this era, but no significant creasing or tears are discernible through the case. The print quality is clear and legible. A partial silhouette of a baseball player batting is visible on the lower right.
