Description
This 1991 Topps Shawon Dunston card features the Chicago Cubs shortstop in a batting stance. The design is iconic for its bold neon colors, specifically the purple and pink pixelated border. The Cubs team name is displayed in a stylized blue font at the top left, and the player name is situated at the bottom in a blue banner.
Key Features
Features a multi-time All-Star for the Chicago Cubs during the popular 'Junk Wax' era of collecting. Iconic 40th Anniversary Topps logo on the back (not visible in image but standard for the set).
Authenticity Indicators
Authenticity confidence: High. The card stock shows the correct grey/tan chipboard back typical of 1991 Topps. The half-tone printing pattern on the purple border is consistent with original production. This card is not commonly counterfeited due to high production volume.
Flaws to Note
Severe off-center centering (Top-Left heavy), visible chipping on the top blue border edge, and softening of the corner tips. Surface appears to have light factory print snow or dust.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold as part of a Chicago Cubs team set or a bulk lot on eBay. Individually, the cost of shipping exceeds the value of the card.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card, as the grading fees will far exceed the card's market value. If selling, use an 'eBay Standard Envelope' for cheap shipping. Bundle it with other 1980s/90s Cubs stars like Ryne Sandberg or Mark Grace to attract more interest.
