Description
This is the back of card #28 from the 1991 Upper Deck Baseball Heroes set honoring Ted Williams. The card features a marble-textured border design with a subset-specific 'Baseball Heroes' logo at the top right. The reverse provides a detailed biography titled '1939 Rookie Year,' describing Williams' debut against the Yankees and his dominant inaugural season stats. It includes the signature Upper Deck anti-counterfeit diamond hologram at the bottom center.
Key Features
Features Hall of Fame legend Ted Williams; part of an iconic early-90s insert series; features the classic Upper Deck hologram technology.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. The card features the authentic 1991 Upper Deck hologram at the bottom, which is difficult to replicate. The typography and 'Baseball Heroes' logo match the period-correct printing standards.
Flaws to Note
The card is currently tightly wrapped in plastic which can cause surface 'pooling' or edge indentations over time. Centering looks slightly off-top-to-bottom. Visible scuffing or dust on the plastic may be hiding surface scratches.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold as part of a lot on eBay or Mercari, or as a filler for a set builder at a local card show. Shipping via eBay Standard Envelope is the most cost-effective method.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card unless it is a guaranteed PSA 10, as the grading fee will exceed the market value. Remove it from the current plastic wrap and place it into a PVC-free penny sleeve and top loader to prevent further surface damage.
