Description
A classic 1991 Topps baseball card featuring California Angels pitcher Kirk McCaskill in his windup. The card features the 'Topps 40 Years of Baseball' logo in the upper left corner and a red-and-white striped border design characteristic of the 1991 set.
Key Features
Includes the 40th-anniversary commemorative logo; Kirk McCaskill was a notable starter for the Angels during the late 80s and early 90s.
Authenticity Indicators
Authenticity confidence is High. This card is from the 'Junk Wax' era with extremely high production volumes; it is not a target for counterfeiting. Correct card stock thickness and period-accurate color saturation.
Flaws to Note
Centering is biased toward the right border. Top-left corner shows a visible white touch. Common for this era, the card stock is prone to light chipping along the edges.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold on eBay as part of a lot, or through COMC (Check Out My Cards) where low-value singles can be stored and sold over time. Not worth the fees of high-end auction houses.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card unless you are pursuing a PSA 10 for a personal registry, as grading fees will far exceed the card's value. List in bulk lots or as a 'pick your card' listing to save on shipping costs. Best shipped in a Plain White Envelope (PWE) to keep costs flat.
