Collector questions

What exact card is this?

This is the 1987 Topps flagship base baseball card, card number 472, featuring Bill Doran of the Houston Astros.

How is this card identified as the base Topps issue and not the Tiffany variant?

The front has a matte, non-glossy surface and the back is gray/tan cardstock with standard 1987 Topps copyright printing. The Tiffany edition is printed on bright white stock with a glossy front, which this card does not show, so it is identified as the standard base card.

What visible player and team details are on the front?

The front shows Bill Doran in a Houston Astros uniform, with the circular Astros logo at the upper-left, a black outlined geometric photo frame, and a blue rectangular nameplate reading 'BILL DORAN.' The Topps logo appears near the lower left.

What information appears on the back of the card?

The back displays the number 472 in a yellow panel, the heading 'BILL DORAN • SECOND BASE,' a complete major league batting record table, biographical details (height, weight, batting/throwing, draft/acquisition, birth and home), an 'ON THIS DATE' historical note, and the © 1987 TOPPS CHEWING GUM, INC. PRTD. IN U.S.A. imprint.
