Description
This 1991 Upper Deck card features Hall of Famer Andre 'The Hawk' Dawson in his classic Chicago Cubs pinstripe uniform. The card showcases Upper Deck's signature high-quality photography and white border design. The front includes the '91 Upper Deck logo in the top left, the Cubs team logo in the bottom right, and Dawson's name along the bottom center within a tan bar.
Key Features
Hall of Fame player; Iconic early 90s Upper Deck design; Highly detailed photography including Dawson's Converse baseball cleats.
Authenticity Indicators
Upper Deck anti-counterfeit hologram on the back; specific card stock texture and gloss; high-resolution printing patterns consistent with 1991 production. Confidence: High.
Flaws to Note
A primary flaw is the right-heavy centering on the front borders. There is also a small speck or print defect visible in the upper right margin. Slight edge whitening is common for this 30+ year old card stock.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (as part of a player lot or set), COMC for individual sales, or local card shop 'dollar' bins. It is not recommended for high-end auction houses.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card unless you are seeking a PSA 10 for a personal registry; the cost of grading ($20+) far exceeds the value of a PSA 8 or 9. Best sold in a 'Cubs Lot' or 'Andre Dawson Lot' to maximize shipping efficiency via eBay Standard Envelope.
