Description: This is for a 1977 Topps Reggie Jackson Baltimore Orioles New York Yankees 3x5 Postcard issue in 1994 after Krause Publications purchased the real deal at a then record price ! This is NOT the card worth hundreds of thousands of dollars - but a nice reprint postcard of it, that would look great framed and displayed in your home, den, office, bar, or 'man cave' !The story behind the real SUPER RARE card. It is one of the most legendary and sought-after of all Topps variations: The unissued blank-back card featuring Reggie Jackson in a Baltimore Orioles uniform with a New York Yankees team designation at the top from the 1977 Topps baseball set. Jackson was traded from Oakland to Baltimore in April 1976, after Topps had already produced the card of him in an Athletics uniform for the 1976 set. He appeared in 134 games with the team, and 1977 would have been the first card set to feature him in an Orioles uniform. In late 1976, however, Jackson signed as a free agent with the New York Yankees. Topps had images of Jackson with the Orioles in their image files and planned for him to be included as such in the 1977 set in their first run of proof sheets. When he switched teams, Topps had to adjust accordingly and ultimately replaced his card with an airbrushed image showing him in a Yankees batting helmet and uniform. Only a handful of the Jackson in Orioles uniform cards known to exist. They are extremely rare and are almost never available!
