$20.00USD
PSA Graded Card - Certification #64373877 - Grade: NM 7
This iconic card, released by Topps in 1985, features a young Mark McGwire as a member of the 1984 United States Baseball Team. The card's design includes a vibrant blue background at the top with '1984 UNITED STATES BASEBALL TEAM' prominently displayed in red and yellow banner over a baseball logo marked 'USA.' The image features McGwire in a red USA jersey and cap, smiling and holding a bat. The card is bordered by a white edge, with McGwire's name and position ('FIRST BASE') in a red bar at the bottom. No autograph is present. The card is known for its crisp photo style and strong patriotic theme, making it one of the most popular and recognized rookie-era cards of the 1980s. Condition appears solid, though centering is a common issue for this card. Printed using standard 1980s Topps techniques—matte finish, not glossy—this card predates the glossy or refractor technologies. The bottom left corner of the card front bears the Topps logo. This card is highly sought after due to McGwire's later fame as a home run hitter and the cultural significance of the 1984 USA team subset.
