Description
This 1991 Upper Deck baseball card features legendary Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Fernando Valenzuela. The card showcases a multi-exposure action photograph capturing his iconic pitching windup in his gray Dodgers uniform. The clean white border, green accent line on the left, and Upper Deck hologram logo in the top left corner are characteristic of the 1991 set.
Key Features
Features the legendary 'Fernandomania' star and Dodgers icon in a striking multi-exposure action shot. High-quality gloss finish typical of early 1990s Upper Deck sets.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence in authenticity. Glossy card stock, crisp printing, and clear Upper Deck hologram watermark on the reverse (implied). Not a commonly counterfeited card.
Flaws to Note
Minor corner softening and slight edge wear typical of ungraded vintage-era mass production cards. Centering appears slightly heavy to the right/bottom border.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell

Selling Tips
Not recommended for professional grading due to low market value relative to grading fees. Best sold raw individually or bundled with other 1990s stars in a protective penny sleeve and top loader, shipped via standard envelope (PWE).
