1978 Topps Paul Mitchell #304 Baseball Card

This is a standard 2.5 by 3.5 inch vintage baseball card manufactured by Topps in 1978, featuring pitcher Paul Mitchell of the Seattle Mariners. The card depicts a classic 1970s vertical format with a full-color action photo of the player in his Mariners home uniform, holding his glove above his head mid-windup against a blue sky background. The design elements include a distinctive baseball-shaped Topps logo in the lower-left corner, with the player's name and position (P) printed in a black serif font on a cream-colored bar. Below this is a yellow banner containing the team name 'MARINERS' in bold green block letters. The card is composed of mid-grade cardboard stock characteristic of the late 1970s. Regarding condition, the card appears to be housed in a plastic protective sleeve within a binder page. The centering seems slightly off to the left (heavy right-side border). The corners show signs of minor softening or wear, which is common for this era. There is a visible ripple or 'wave' across the top portion of the card inside the sleeve, which may be a surface wrinkle or simply a reflection on the plastic. The colors remain relatively vibrant with no significant fading, and there are no obvious ink marks or creases visible in the primary image area.
