1972 Topps Football John Brodie 'Pro Action' Card #259

This is a vintage 1972 Topps football card featuring San Francisco 49ers quarterback John Brodie as part of the 'Pro Action' subset. The card measures approximately 2.5 by 3.5 inches and is printed on typical 1970s cardboard stock with a matte finish on the reverse. The design is characteristic of the 1972 set, featuring a horizontal orientation with a prominent yellow border framing an action photograph. To the left, the words 'PRO ACTION' are printed in a stylized, multi-line 70s typography in red and orange. The player's name, 'JOHN BRODIE', is printed vertically on the right side in black. The photograph depicts Brodie amidst several players in red and gold uniforms, capturing the intensity of a live play. Regarding condition, the card is housed in a clear plastic protective sleeve within what appears to be a larger stack. The centering seems to favor the top and left slightly. The corners show visible signs of softening and wear, particularly the bottom right corner which shows slight fraying of the paper fibers. The colors remain relatively vibrant for the age, though there is general surface wear consistent with mid-grade vintage cards. No significant creases are immediately visible through the sleeve, but the edges show some minor chipping. This specific card represents the golden era of Topps football production and remains a popular piece for team or player collectors.
