This isn't just another veteran base card; it is a vital piece of baseball history, capturing the legendary "Mr. October" in his final playing-day appearance with the Oakland Athletics—the team where his storied career began two decades earlier. Why This Card Belongs in Your Collection: The "Last Call" Card: 1987 was Reggie’s 21st and final season in the Major Leagues. This card is widely recognized by collectors as his final active-player card, making it the "bookend" to his 1969 Topps rookie card. High-Grade Preservation: SGC is renowned for its strict grading of vintage and junk-wax era cards. Finding a 1987 Traded card in a Mint 9 holder is becoming increasingly difficult due to the "chipping" issues often found on the white cardstock. The Athletics Homecoming: After stints with the Yankees and Angels, Reggie returned to Oakland for one last ride. This card features him in the classic '87 A's uniform, a nostalgic favorite for many fans. Investment Grade: As the hobby continues to grow, "Final Year" cards of 500-home run club members and first-ballot Hall of Famers are seeing a steady increase in demand from registry collectors. Condition Details: Grade: SGC 9 (Mint) Centering: Excellent top-to-bottom and side-to-side alignment. Corners/Edges: Sharp, crisp corners with minimal white-stock chipping. Surface: Clean, vibrant colors with no wax staining or print defects. Slab: Housed in the iconic SGC "Tuxedo" slab, which provides the best visual contrast for this classic wood-grain design. Shipping & Handling: The card will be shipped with the utmost care. It will be placed in a team bag, sandwiched between cardboard, and shipped in a bubble mailer (or small box) to ensure it arrives in the exact condition pictured.
