Description
Featured here is a 1992 Topps Stadium Club Mark Carreon base card. The card features a high-gloss, borderless action photo of Carreon in his Detroit Tigers away uniform finishing a swing. The iconic Stadium Club gold-foil logo and player nameplate are located in the bottom-left corner.
Key Features
High-gloss photography typical of the early premium card era; Detroit Tigers team uniform; classic 1991-1992 Stadium Club design aesthetics.
Authenticity Indicators
Authentic. Features the correct matte/gloss contrast on the gold foil logo and typical Kodak-style card stock photography common to Topps production in 1992. Confidence: High.
Flaws to Note
Rounding of the top-right and bottom-left corners. There appears to be minor white chipping on the edges, which is very common with this set's black and deep-color full-bleed borders. No major creases are visible, but the surface likely has micro-scratches from being part of a loose stack.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold as part of a bulk team set on eBay, or through a local card shop's 'dollar bin'. Individual sale is not recommended due to shipping costs outweighing market value.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card, as the fees will far exceed any potential return. If selling, bundle it with other 1992 Tigers cards or Stadium Club base cards to make the shipping cost worthwhile for a buyer. Use keywords like 'Detroit Tigers', 'Junk Wax Era', and 'Stadium Club Base'.
