Description
Standard 1991 Pacific Football base card featuring Hall of Fame wide receiver Cris Carter in his white Minnesota Vikings away jersey. The card features a distinct pink and yellow border design typical of the early 90s Pacific set, with a vertical name bar on the left side and the Pacific logo in the bottom left corner.
Key Features
Features Hall of Fame Wide Receiver Cris Carter. This is an early career card from his first seasons with the Minnesota Vikings after leaving the Philadelphia Eagles.
Authenticity Indicators
Authenticity confidence is High. The card stock is the correct thickness for 1991 Pacific, and there is no market for counterfeiting this specific base card due to its high supply and low market value.
Flaws to Note
Significant right-to-left centering issues (OC). Soft bottom-right corner. Slight fuzziness on the top edge. This card is common and the high-production volume of the 'junk wax' era makes centering flaws highly detrimental to value.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
