1989 Topps Mike Harkey Future Star Baseball Card (#387)
This is a standard 2.5 by 3.5 inch cardboard baseball card from the 1989 Topps set, featuring Chicago Cubs pitcher Mike Harkey. The card design is characteristic of the late 1980s 'Junk Wax' era, featuring a matte white cardstock with a portrait-style photograph. At the top, the 'Future Star' designation is displayed in a stylized, gradient-filled font transition from blue to purple, accompanied by the classic Topps scripted logo. The subject, Mike Harkey, is shown in a blue Chicago Cubs uniform with a v-neck collar and a blue cap with a red 'C'. He is wearing a pitcher's glove on his left hand. The bottom of the card includes a ribbon graphic containing the team name 'Cubs' in red cursive and the player's name 'MIKE HARKEY' in white block letters. The card appears to be in raw, ungraded condition. Observation of the edges shows some minor whitening or chipping, particularly on the bottom edge. The centering of the image within the white borders appears slightly shifted toward the top-left, which is common for mass-produced Topps sets of this period. There are no obvious signs of creasing or heavy surface scratching visible from the front view, though the top corners show evidence of slight softening rather than being razor-sharp.
