Authenticity Indicators
High confidence in authenticity. This is not a commonly counterfeited card due to high production volume. Authentic traits include the 'Collector's Choice' holographic stamp quality and specific card stock thickness correct for 1995 Upper Deck products.
Flaws to Note
Visible left-to-right centering bias (left border is thicker than right). White border stock from this era is prone to edge chipping and bottom-edge wear. Possible surface dimples or light scratches common on this matte finish.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best suited for eBay (as a 'Buy It Now' or part of a player lot) or COMC. High-grade (PSA 10) specimens are best sold through dedicated sports card auction houses or eBay auctions.
Selling Tips
Do not grade unless you are certain it will score a PSA 10; the cost of grading often exceeds the value of a PSA 8 or 9. Use keywords like 'Silver Slugger,' 'Braves,' and 'RC.' Ship in a penny sleeve and top-loader via eBay Standard Envelope for low-cost tracking.
