Description:
This is a vintage-style baseball card from the Topps Collectors' Series, featuring the legendary Rogers Hornsby of the St. Louis Cardinals. The card is bordered with an orange and yellow frame, identifies Hornsby as an 'All-Time Record Holder', and shows a black and white image of Hornsby in his Cardinals jersey. Cards like this were often produced as special series or inserts to commemorate baseball legends, rather than as part of the mainstream annual Topps sets.
Curator Questions
Curated by Jade
Assessment:
The card is a commemorative reprint from the Topps Collectors' Series celebrating the achievements of Rogers Hornsby, a Hall-of-Fame infielder for the St. Louis Cardinals. It is collectible primarily for fans of baseball history or Hornsby himself, but is not a rare or high-value item. Condition and completeness of the set can impact value. The card appears to be in good collectible shape based on visible image, though not professionally graded.
Individual Images:
- The card is housed in a plastic sheet within a three-ring binder
- which is typical for preservation. The surface and corners are visible and seem free of major creases or stains. There may be minor yellowing from age and edge handling marks are possible at the very corners. No autographs or serial numbering are visible.

Authenticity Score: 95%
