Description
A classic early-90s card featuring Minnesota Twins pitcher Mark Guthrie in mid-delivery. The 1992 Stadium Club set is known for its high-gloss Kodak photography and full-bleed borderless design. The front features a gold foil Stadium Club logo in the bottom right corner over a dark nameplate.
Key Features
Full-bleed photography, high-gloss UV coating, gold foil logo, features Guthrie in road gray pinstripes during his tenure with the 1991 World Series Champion Twins.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. This card features the correct 'Kodak' photographic quality typical of the set, appropriate card stock thickness, and real gold foil stamp that reacts to light. Card is from the 'Junk Wax' era and is not a target for counterfeiting.
Flaws to Note
Visible edge wear (white chipping) on the bottom horizontal edge, heavy surface scratching visible in the gloss under light, and slightly soft corners characteristic of the thick card stock used in this era.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold as part of a bulk lot of early 90s cards on eBay, through a COMC account, or as a donation to a local thrift store. Shipping as a single PWE (Plain White Envelope) is the only way to retain profit.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card, as fees ($19+) will far exceed the card's value. List in a 'pick your card' multi-listing to attract team set builders. Use high-resolution scans to show the gloss quality.
