Why This Card Matters

Tim Blackwell was a Red Sox 13th-round pick in June 1970 who joined the Cubs as a free agent on February 10, 1978 and had the best season of his career in 1980, catching 103 games and hitting .272 with 30 RBI - the numbers the back of this card reports. The switch-hitting catcher from San Diego was his high school's MVP in both baseball and football, and the 1981 Topps set caught him at that career peak. It is a common from a heavily printed year, so condition rather than scarcity is what carries the value here.

Market-Informed Pricing

Suggested at $1.51 from the 90-day Buy It Now comp set. One base BIN sale falls inside the 30-day window, so Section 4.2's ladder moves to 90 days, where two verified base sales average $1.40 before the 8% premium.
