1974 Topps #409 Bruce Taylor Football Card (San Francisco 49ers)

This is a vintage 1974 Topps football trading card featuring cornerback Bruce Taylor of the San Francisco 49ers. The card measures the standard 2.5 by 3.5 inches and is printed on typical mid-century cardstock. The front graphic features a portrait-style color photograph of Taylor in his red 49ers jersey against a blue sky background. The design is characteristic of the 1974 Topps set, utilizing a blue goalpost-style border frame around the image. Below the image, the player's name 'BRUCE TAYLOR' and position 'CORNERBACK' are printed in black sans-serif type within white rectangles, set above a yellow horizontal banner featuring '49ers' in red text. Regarding condition, the card appears to be housed in a clear protective sleeve and top-loader. The centering is noticeably shifted towards the right and top edges. The corners show slight rounding and wear typical for a card of this age. The surfaces appear relatively clean, though there is a minor white spot or ink loss visible in the yellow '49ers' banner near the right side. The colors remain fairly vibrant, though the stock shows the slight darkening characteristic of 1970s cardboard. No major creases or water damage are visible from the front view.
