Jeff Russell Autographed 1984 Topps Tiffany #270 Cincinnati Reds RC

Featuring Jeff Russell with the Cincinnati Reds, this Jeff Russell autographed 1984 Topps Tiffany #270 Cincinnati Reds Rookie Card is the premium Tiffany counterpart to his standard 1984 Topps rookie issue. Produced specifically for Topps' factory-issued Tiffany set, these cards feature a noticeably glossier front surface and higher-quality card stock than the standard 1984 Topps release.

The Reds selected Russell with the fifth overall pick in the 1979 MLB Draft. He made his Major League debut with Cincinnati in 1983, appearing in 20 games and working primarily as a starting pitcher during the beginning of his career.

Russell was traded to the Texas Rangers during the 1985 season, and his career eventually flourished following a transition to the bullpen. In 1989, he recorded an American League-leading 38 saves with a 1.98 ERA in 71 appearances, earning his first All-Star selection and finishing sixth in American League Cy Young Award voting.

He remained a successful late-inning reliever throughout the following decade and earned his second All-Star selection with Texas in 1994. Russell also pitched for the Athletics, Red Sox and Indians before returning to the Rangers for the final portion of his career.

Russell finished his 14-season Major League career with 186 saves and 693 strikeouts in 589 appearances. Combining his rookie-card status with the distinctive Tiffany treatment, the 1984 Topps Tiffany #270 is an appealing addition for Reds collectors, Jeff Russell fans, Topps Tiffany collectors, rookie-card collections or collectors assembling comprehensive autographed player runs.
