Demand Level
Low - This is a 'common' card from the Junk Wax Era; items from this period were overproduced by the millions. Demand is mostly limited to Brewers team collectors or set builders.
Valuation
Raw (Ungraded) Value
$0.05 - $0.25
Graded Value
PSA 8: $5-10, PSA 9: $15-20, PSA 10: $40-60 (Higher grades are rare due to mass production and poor quality control)
Comparable Sales
Individual raw copies consistently sell for under $0.50 in bulk lots. PSA 10 examples of similar commons from this set have sold for $30-50, but the cost of grading ($19+) usually exceeds the ROI for mid-grade cards.
Description
This 1991 Topps card features pitcher Bill Krueger in the classic Milwaukee Brewers pinstripe uniform. The card commemorates Topps' 40th anniversary with the iconic '40 Years of Baseball' logo in the upper left corner. The design features a colorful border around an action-shot of Krueger delivering a pitch, with the Brewers team name displayed in a yellow banner at the bottom.
Key Features
Contains the 40th Anniversary celebratory logo; part of the junk wax era history; depicts a consistent 13-year MLB veteran journey-man pitcher.
Authenticity Indicators
Authenticity Confidence: High. The card features the correct 'Topps 40' logo design, the standard 1991 recycled cardstock texture, and appropriate dot-matrix printing patterns. This card is not commonly counterfeited due to low market value.
Flaws to Note
Common centering issues typical of 1991 Topps; minor edge chipping visible on the right side; slight softening of corners from handling; typical recycled grey cardstock prone to surface wear.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (best as part of a bulk team lot), COMC (for long-term inventory), or local card shop bulk bins.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card unless it is physically flawless (PSA 10 candidate) and intended for a personal collection. For selling, bundle it with other Brewers cards from the same era to increase attractiveness. Use 'eBay Standard Envelope' for cheap, tracked shipping.
