Description
A classic specimen from the early 90s Junk Wax era, this 1992 Stadium Club card features Chicago Cubs shortstop Jose Vizcaino in a defensive stance on the infield dirt. The card utilizes the iconic full-bleed photography that Stadium Club was famous for, with a gold-foil embossed logo and nameplate in the bottom right corner.
Key Features
Features the 1991 Kodak Photo of the Year technology; High-gloss finish and full-bleed photography which was premium for its era; Jose Vizcaino was a respected 18-season MLB veteran and World Series champion.
Authenticity Indicators
High Confidence. The gold foil stamping shows correct light refraction; the card stock thickness is consistent with 1992 Kodalux processing. This card is not targeted by counterfeiters due to mass production.
Flaws to Note
Heavy white chipping along the right-hand edge; softened corners (bottom right especially); surface scratches and 'bubbling' texture common with aged high-gloss stock from the early 90s.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold in a 'dollar bin' at a local card show, as part of a Chicago Cubs team lot on eBay, or donated. Individual sale is difficult due to shipping costs outweighing market value.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card, as the fees will far exceed the card's worth. Best used to complete a set or sold in bulk lots. If listing online, use 'PWE' (Plain White Envelope) shipping to keep costs low for the buyer.
