1989 Topps Tim Brown Rookie Card #296

This is a 1989 Topps football card featuring Wide Receiver and Kick Returner Tim Brown of the Los Angeles Raiders, designated as a 'Topps All Pro' rookie card. The card features a vertical portrait of Brown in his black Raiders jersey with the number 81. The design is characteristic of the 1989 Topps set, featuring a white border with a pink and light blue inner frame design with horizontal bar accents on the left and right sides. The Topps logo is located in the upper left corner, while the player's name, team, and position appear in a translucent blue gradient box at the bottom. Below this, the 'TOPPS ALL PRO' text is printed in a bold pink font. The card is printed on standard cardstock and is currently housed in a clear protective plastic top-loader sleeve. Observation of the card through the loader suggests standard age-appropriate centering, with the image shifted slightly toward the top. The corners appear relatively sharp, though the top-right corner shows a very minor touch of wear. Surface-wise, there appears to be some minor 'snow' or white print spotting in red-hued portions of the background, which is common for this high-volume production era. No significant creases, staining, or discolorations are visible, indicating the card is in a mid-to-high grade raw condition. This is a significant card as it represents the first regular-issue Topps card for the Hall of Fame receiver.
