History

Jerry Rice is the NFL's all-time leading receiver with 22,895 yards and 197 touchdowns, primarily with the San Francisco 49ers, widely regarded as the greatest wide receiver in football history and a Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee.

1995 Topps Finest set, released in 1995 as part of the football card series featuring base and refractor parallels.

• Jerry Rice #180 is from the base version of 1995 Topps Finest, distinct from higher-value Refractor #180 and #185 variants.
• The set introduced premium refractor technology, but the base common is more accessible.
• Rice's cards from this era are popular due to his HOF status and 49ers legacy.

Collector notes

Condition. Check for edge chipping, surface scratches on the glossy finish, centering issues common in Finest cards, and print defects; Protective Coating variant may show wear on the coating layer.

Storage. Store in semi-rigid top loaders or magnetic holders away from sunlight and humidity to preserve gloss and prevent coating degradation; use team bags for added protection.

Authenticity. Verify Topps hologram if present, check font alignment and card stock thickness; base cards rarely faked but compare to graded population reports; professional grading recommended for high value.
