Description
Featured here is a 1991 Topps Mike Sharperson baseball card, number 504. The card depicts the Dodgers infielder in a defensive ready position, sporting the classic Los Angeles road gray uniform. The 1991 Topps design is known for its colorful border frames and bold team name typography in the upper left corner. This specific card features a bright green and blue border motif.
Key Features
Features an All-Star infielder for the Dodgers; part of the iconic 40th Anniversary Topps set; nostalgic 90s design with 'junk wax' era appeal.
Authenticity Indicators
Authenticity Confidence: High. The card stock is the standard brown recycled paper used by Topps in 1991. The halftones and 'Topps' logo placement match production standards. This card is not a target for counterfeiting due to its high supply and low market value.
Flaws to Note
Significant whitening on the top and left edges; soft/dinged corners (especially top-left and bottom-right); heavy vertical off-centering (leaning heavy left); surface chipping on the green borders and general signs of being stored loose rather than in a protective sleeve.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold as part of a Los Angeles Dodgers team lot on eBay, or donated/sold in bulk. It has very little individual resale value and is typically found in 'dollar boxes' or 'quarter bins' at local card shops.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card, as the grading fees ($15-25+) are significantly higher than the card's worth. Best used to complete a base set or for personal nostalgia. If selling, include it in a 1991 Topps complete set or a Mike Sharperson player lot to maximize the chance of a sale.
