This is for the 1988 Topps Cloth 1988 Topps Cloth Pete Rose baseball card pictured. The card is blank backed and extremely rare.
It\'s a little hard to describe the condition. Given the thin paper towel-like material of the cards, there are lines / creases present on the card. There are also perforations present from the material that are similar to paper towel material. The lines/perforations are typical for these cards, but I just wanted to point it out.
Also, I\'ve sold a number of 1988 Topps Cloth Cards with some of them going through Authenticity Guarantee. I had one get rejected where the grader said that while the card was Authentic I need to point out that the card was professionally hand cut and so it may not measure the exact size of a regular baseball card. I think that should be obvious as these sheets were never factory cut, but wanted to mention it nonetheless. I\'d also add that in my opinion the card looks great from a cut perspective.
I did a write-up on these cards on my site:rarebaseballcards also have some of the lesser stars listed in this following is from baseball card pedia:
\"1988 Topps Cloth is a 121-card, skip-numbered, set that partially-parallels the regular 1988 Topps issue. The set was a test issue that was never intended for release; however, was backdoored into The Hobby. Each card was printed on a very thin gauze-like material that retains water like a sponge.\"
