Description
This card features Hall of Fame pitcher Chief Bender in a sepia-toned action pose. The design incorporates a 'wood-paneled' frame around the image, which is a signature of the Pacific Legends series produced in the late 80s to early 90s to celebrate baseball history. The reverse typically contains career highlights and statistical data.
Key Features
Features Hall of Fame pitcher and Philadelphia Athletics legend Chief Bender. Part of a popular nostalgia set known for its high-quality imagery of deceased or retired stars.
Authenticity Indicators
Authenticity confidence is High. This is a modern 'retro' card on modern card stock with crisp digital typography for the name. It is not an original T-series or pre-war card, nor is it a commonly faked high-value item.
Flaws to Note
The card appears to have slightly soft corners on the bottom right and top right. There is a minor centering shift toward the right border. Surface looks clean, but sepia tones can often hide hairline scratches.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (as a PWE listing), COMC, or as part of a Hall of Fame player lot. Best suited for set builders or player collectors.
Selling Tips
Due to the low value, it is not recommended to grade this card unless you are attempting to complete a PSA 10 set. Sell via eBay Standard Envelope (PWE) to keep shipping costs low for the buyer. Mention 'Hall of Fame' and 'Philadelphia Athletics' in keywords.
