1976 Topps #480 Mike Schmidt, Phillies, Clean Vintage Star Issue

This is an original 1976 Topps #480 Mike Schmidt, featuring the Hall of Fame third baseman in the heart of his prime. This issue captures Schmidt in his classic batting stance, with vibrant color, crisp player lines, and the bold magenta/yellow Phillies design that defines late-70s Topps aesthetics. The surface shows strong gloss with no major print loss. Corners and edges exhibit vintage wear consistent with raw cards of this era but remain well-presented. Centering is solid for a ’76 Topps, with clear registration and sharp image focus. The back is clean and fully legible, with bright green and grey tones, no paper loss, and excellent stat box clarity. A standout piece for Schmidt collectors, Phillies fans, and anyone building a premium raw 1970s star run.
