1986 Topps Football Card - 1985 NFL Receiving Leaders #227

This is a vintage 1986 Topps football card featuring the 1985 NFL Receiving Leaders, Roger Craig of the San Francisco 49ers and Lionel James of the San Diego Chargers. The card displays a vibrant yellow outer border with a green inner banner reading '1985 NFL RECEIVING LEADERS' flanked by stars. The card depicts two separate photographic portraits of the players in their team uniforms. Roger Craig is shown in his red 49ers jersey, while Lionel James is pictured in his Chargers helmet and white jersey. The card is printed on standard semi-glossy cardstock of the era. Regarding condition, the card appears to be housed in a clear protective sleeve. There are visible signs of wear consistent with age, including softening and slight rounding of the corners. The centering of the image appears slightly shifted toward the top right edge. There is some minor surface scuffing visible on the plastic sleeve which may or may not affect the card itself. No major creases or staining are immediately apparent from the obverse view. The printing quality shows characteristic 1980s halftone patterns. This piece represents a significant era in NFL history, highlighting two versatile running backs who led the league in receptions during the 1985 season.
