1986 Topps Dwight Gooden '85 Record Breaker baseball card (#5)
This is a standard 2.5 by 3.5 inch vintage baseball card from the 1986 Topps series, featuring New York Mets pitcher Dwight Gooden. The card commemorates his achievement as the 'Youngest 20-Game Winner, Modern History' during the 1985 season. The front design is characteristic of the 1986 Topps set, featuring a distinct black top border with pink block lettering for the 'RECORD BREAKER' title and a red square in the upper left corner featuring the year '85 in yellow. The central image shows an action shot of Gooden in his Mets home pinstripe uniform mid-delivery on the mound. A yellow horizontal bar at the bottom contains his name and the specific record details in red and black text. The card is printed on traditional brown chipboard stock. In terms of condition, the centering appears slightly biased toward the top and right. The corners show mild softening, particularly at the bottom right, and the edges exhibit minor chipping consistent with age. There is no evidence of creasing or staining visible on the front surface. The card remains ungraded and is shown resting on a light wood-grain surface.
