Description
This 1989 Topps card features San Francisco Giants first baseman Will Clark. The card commemorates his 1989 All-Star selection, featuring the iconic '1989 All-Star' banner at the top and the National League logo in the bottom left. The photo depicts 'Will the Thrill' in his signature follow-through stance.
Key Features
Features a fan-favorite San Francisco Giants legend and 6-time All-Star; iconic 1989 junk-wax era design; high-grade specimens (PSA 10) are surprisingly scarce due to poor quality control during original production.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. This card is a mass-produced base card from the late 80s and is rarely counterfeited. Topps cardstock from 1989 has a specific grainy texture on the back and a distinct smell.
Flaws to Note
A slightly thick right-hand border (O/C). The bottom right corner shows some very slight white wear against the colored border. These 'junk wax' era cards often suffer from print dots/'snow' in the dark background areas.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold as part of a lot on eBay or via a 'COMC' (Check Out My Cards) account. Individual raw sales are difficult due to shipping costs exceeding card value.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card unless it is physically flawless (potential PSA 10). For a raw sale, use an eBay 'Standard Envelope' to keep shipping under $1.00, making it more attractive to player collectors.
