Description
This 1992 Upper Deck card features Boston Red Sox ace Roger Clemens in a dynamic pitching follow-through. Part of the 'Diamond Skills' subset, the card identifies him as the 'Best Right-Handed Pitcher.' The design features the classic 1992 Upper Deck white borders with a purple nameplate and the holographic Upper Deck logo in the top left corner.
Key Features
Includes a Hall of Fame caliber player (Roger Clemens) and belongs to the highly popular early '90s Upper Deck flagship set. It features the 'Diamond Skills' logo in the bottom right corner.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. The card features the authentic 1992 Upper Deck anti-counterfeit hologram on the reverse (though not pictured, standard for the set). The print pattern and card stock thickness appear consistent with 1992 production standards.
Flaws to Note
Centering is noticeably shifted toward the bottom and left borders. There is visible chipping/roughness along the right white edge, which is common for this high-gloss stock. Minor blunting on the bottom corners.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold as part of a larger team set (Red Sox) or player lot on eBay. Low individual value makes it most suitable for '50 cent bins' at local card shows or on COMC (Check Out My Cards).
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card unless you are certain it is a flawless PSA 10 candidate, as grading fees will exceed the card's value. List as part of a 'Roger Clemens Lot' to save on shipping and increase buyer interest. Use keywords: Rocket, Boston Red Sox, HOF, Junk Wax.
