1992 Upper Deck Tom Rathman Football Card #427
This is a standard-sized (2.5" x 3.5") sports trading card featuring Tom Rathman, a running back for the San Francisco 49ers. Produced by the Upper Deck Company for the 1992 season, the card front showcases a high-action color photograph of Rathman in his iconic red and gold jersey running with the football. A hallmark of the 1992 Upper Deck set design is the bottom-weighted nameplate that utilizes a faux-stone or marbled texture housing the 49ers logo and player name 'Tom Rathman' in sans-serif black text, alongside his position 'RB'. The iconic '1991 Upper Deck 92' holographic logo appears in the top right corner. The card is printed on premium white cardstock with a gloss finish typical of the early 1990s 'junk wax' era transition into higher-end photography. Regarding condition, the card appears generally well-preserved within a clear protective sleeve. The centering appears slightly heavy toward the left margin. The corners, as observed through the sleeve, seem relatively sharp without significant softening. There are no visible surface scratches, creases, or major ink defects appearing in the provided image, though minor factory edge burring may be present which is common for this era and stock.
