Description
A classic 1991 Upper Deck baseball card featuring Cleveland Indians pitcher Eric King in a dynamic following-through pitching motion. The card features the iconic white borders, green stripe on the left, and the '91 Upper Deck holographic logo in the top left corner. The reverse includes a secondary photo and full career statistics.
Key Features
Features the nostalgic 1991 design and the controversial 'Chief Wahoo' logo in the bottom right corner, which is a point of interest for team collectors. High-quality photography typical of early Upper Deck releases.
Authenticity Indicators
Includes the standard 1991 Upper Deck anti-counterfeit diamond hologram on the reverse. High-gloss finish is consistent with 1990s Upper Deck stock. Confidence: High. Not a known target for counterfeiting.
Flaws to Note
Minor right-side centering bias. Slight 'snowing' or white print dots visible in the dark background areas of the photo. Minor edge wear on the bottom right corner.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (as part of a team lot or set), COMC (bulk submission), or local card shop 'quarter bins'. Selling as an individual single is difficult due to shipping costs.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card; the cost of grading (approx. $19+) will never be recouped. Best used to complete a 1991 Upper Deck set or sold in a 'Cleveland Indians' 50-card lot to maximize interest. If listing on eBay, use 'Plain White Envelope' (PWE) shipping to keep costs down.
