Description
This 1991 Topps Tony Fossas card features the left-handed specialist in a classic Milwaukee Brewers satin dugout jacket and cap. The 1991 design is iconic for its bold neon colors, including the purple, blue, and yellow borders seen here. The front displays the 'Brewers' team name in stylized text and the player name in a green bar at the bottom.
Key Features
Features a journeyman lefty specialist and World Series champion; representative of the high-production 'Junk Wax' era of card collecting.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. This is an original 1991 Topps card. Authenticity indicators include the specific cardboard stock feel and the 4-color halftone printing dots visible under magnification. This card is not targeted by counterfeiters due to high supply.
Flaws to Note
Significant top-to-bottom centering issues (top border is much thinner than bottom). Visible corner wear on the upper left. General surface 'snowy' print dots common in early 90s mass-production.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold in a 'Quarter Box' at a local card show, as part of a Milwaukee Brewers team set, or in a bulk lot on eBay. Individual listing is generally not cost-effective due to shipping fees.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card. To maximize value, bundle it with other 1991 Topps Brewers or other Tony Fossas cards. Use 'Plain White Envelope' (PWE) shipping for low-value transactions to keep costs down for the buyer.
