Collector questions

What exact card is this?

This is the 1987 Topps (flagship) baseball card of Ted Simmons, card number 516 from the 1987 Topps set, published by Topps in 1987.

How can you tell this is the base 1987 Topps issue and not the Tiffany parallel?

The front and back are printed on dull gray/brown stock and the front lacks a glossy reflective finish; the back includes '©1987 TOPPS CHEWING GUM, INC. PRTD. IN U.S.A.' These traits contrast with the 1987 Topps Tiffany Collector's Edition, which is printed on bright white stock with a glossy front, so the supplied evidence indicates this card is the base flagship issue.

What identifying number and player information appear on the card back?

The back shows card number 516 in the upper left, 'TED SIMMONS · C-13' in large cream lettering, and a batting-statistics table headed 'COMPLETE MAJOR LEAGUE BATTING RECORD', plus biography lines listing height, weight, batting/throwing hands, draft and acquisition info, birth and home details.

What visible design elements are on the front of the card?

The front displays a color action photo of Ted Simmons in a Braves uniform with a circular Atlanta Braves logo at upper left, a blue rectangular nameplate reading 'TED SIMMONS' in white block letters near the bottom, the Topps logo at lower left, and the standard 1987 Topps faux wood-grain outer border and geometric photo frame.
