1974 Topps Football #496 Bob Hoskins

This is a vintage 1974 Topps football trading card featuring Defensive Tackle Bob Hoskins of the San Francisco 49ers. The card displays the classic 1974 design characterized by a candid color photograph of the player on the field, framed by a thin blue border against a larger white cardstock background. The bottom of the card includes a distinctive green banner graphic containing the team name '49ers' and the conference 'NFC', alongside a stylized green football helmet containing the player's position, 'Defensive Tackle'. The player's name, 'BOB HOSKINS', is printed in bold black uppercase letters at the very bottom. The card appears to be in a protective plastic sleeve. Regarding condition, the centering seems shifted slightly toward the left and bottom. The corners show signs of slight rounding and softening typical of ungraded vintage cards of this era. The surface colors remain relatively vibrant, featuring the deep red of the 49ers jersey. There are no immediate signs of major creases or surface stains visible through the sleeve, though minor edge wear is present. This piece of sports memorabilia represents the mid-1970s era of NFL card production by the Topps Chewing Gum company.
