1987 Topps Larry Sheets Baseball Card (#524)

This is a standard 2.5 by 3.5 inch vintage baseball card from the 1987 Topps series, featuring Larry Sheets of the Baltimore Orioles. The card is instantly recognizable by its signature faux-wood grain border, a hallmark design element of the 1987 Topps set. The front of the card displays a dynamic action shot of Sheets in a batting stance, wearing the classic orange and black Orioles away uniform. Key design elements include a circular team logo in the top left corner, the 'Topps' brand logo in the bottom left, and an orange name block at the bottom right. The card is printed on semi-glossy heavy paper stock. In terms of condition, the centering appears slightly off, shifted toward the right margin. The corners show visible wear and minor softening, particularly at the top left. The edges exhibit slight chipping common with this wood-grain pattern. There is a visible horizontal surface scratch or print line near the bottom area across the player's legs. The colors remain relatively vibrant without significant fading. This card represents a popular 'junk wax' era collectible from the late 1980s, noted for its nostalgic aesthetic but high production volume.
