Description
This 1992 Topps Stadium Club card features Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Duane Ward in a classic kneeling pose on the grass. The card utilizes the iconic full-bleed photography and high-gloss finish that Stadium Club was famous for in the early 90s. The bottom left features the Topps Stadium Club logo with Ward's name in a gold-foil style cylinder graphic.
Key Features
Features a key member of the 1992-1993 World Series champion Toronto Blue Jays; iconic high-definition photography for its era; glossy finish that was premium for 1992.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence in authenticity. This is a common card from the 'Junk Wax' era; it features the correct Kodak-style photography and gold foil stamping which is difficult to replicate accurately. Not a target for counterfeiting.
Flaws to Note
Significant edge wear and chipping along the top border; visible white 'corner dings' on bottom right; potential surface dimples or scratches due to lack of protective sleeve in photo.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold as part of a lot on eBay or via COMC (Check Out My Cards). Individual sale is not recommended due to shipping costs outweighing card value.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card, as the cost of grading ($20+) is significantly higher than the market value. Best used as a 'filler' card for a Blue Jays team lot or sold in a bulk 'dime box' at a local card show. Use 'Standard Envelope' for shipping if sold on eBay to keep costs under $1.
