Description
Attractive 1992 O-Pee-Chee Premier Randy Johnson #62. This card features a sharp photography shot of 'The Big Unit' in his classic Seattle Mariners uniform, gripping a baseball. The design includes the distinctive gold and teal 'Premier 92' logo and bilingual English/French text (PITCHER/LANCEUR) characteristic of the Canadian O-Pee-Chee brand.
Key Features
Hall of Fame pitcher Randy Johnson; Rare Canadian O-Pee-Chee version (lower print run than standard Topps); Iconic early career Mariners imagery; Bilingual text unique to OPC releases.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. Card stock shows correct thickness for early 90s O-Pee-Chee; bilingual text is present; print pattern is consistent with period-accurate lithography. Not a commonly counterfeited card due to high supply.
Flaws to Note
Slight left-to-right centering bias (common for this set); minor dust/fiber visible at the bottom right corner (likely on the sleeve); potential for surface scratches hidden by top loader reflections.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform for this card, either as a low-cost BIN (Buy It Now) for raw or an auction if graded. COMC is also a great option for low-value base cards to save on shipping costs.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card unless you are certain it is a flawless PSA 10 candidate, as grading fees will exceed the value of a PSA 9. Use keywords like 'Mariners', 'HOF', 'Big Unit', and 'Bilingual' in the listing. Ship in a penny sleeve and top loader inside a standard envelope (eBay PWE) to keep shipping costs low for the buyer.
