1986 Topps John Elway #380 Football Trading Card

This is a standard 2.5 by 3.5-inch vintage football trading card featuring Hall of Fame quarterback John Elway of the Denver Broncos. Produced by Topps in 1986, the card is characterized by its iconic green border with white diagonal 'yard line' stripes, a design hallmark of the 1986 set. The central image is a tight portrait of Elway in his classic blue Riddell helmet with the orange 'D' logo partially visible. The card's bottom section features Elway's name in bold white serif font over a blue banner, and the team name 'BRONCOS' in yellow block letters set within a red diagonal ribbon. The Topps logo appears in the upper left corner. This specific example appears to be housed in a clear protective plastic sleeve. Observing the physical condition from the image, the centering seems slightly shifted toward the top right edge. The green borders are notoriously difficult to maintain as they show edge wear easily; however, the colors remain vibrant with no significant fading. The surface print quality shows the era's typical dot-matrix texture. No major creases or corner blunting are immediately evident, though a high-resolution microscopic inspection would be required for a definitive grading assessment.
