Description
A classic early-90s base card featuring Max Venable in his California Angels uniform. The card shows Venable in a full-swing batting action sequence with a green and blue color-block border design characteristic of the 1992 Score set. The bottom right features the iconic yellow and blue Score 92 logo.
Key Features
Features Max Venable, a respected MLB journey-man. Iconic junk-wax era design with vibrant color blocks. Notable for completion of team sets or player-specific collections.
Authenticity Indicators
Genuine card stock from the 1992 era; high confidence. This card is not targeted by counterfeiters due to high supply and low individual value. Print dot patterns are consistent with Score's 1992 mass production.
Flaws to Note
Centering is shifted slightly toward the left and top. Softening visible on the bottom-right and top-left corner tips. Minor rough-cut edges common for this production era. Possible surface tanning on white borders.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold as part of a team lot on eBay, listed in a COMC inventory shipment, or found in 'Common' bins at local card shows. High grading fees make it impractical for individual sale unless chasing a PSA 10 for a registry.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card unless it is for personal collection purposes, as grading costs exceed the market value. Best used as a 'filler' for building the 1992 Score set or sold in an Angels-themed bargain lot. Use 'plain white envelope' (PWE) shipping for single sales to keep costs below the card's value.
