Description
This 1991 Topps Sid Bream card showcases the first baseman in his Pittsburgh Pirates uniform, smiling while holding a bat over his shoulder. The card features the iconic Topps '40 Years of Baseball' anniversary logo in the top left corner, a double-stripe border design, and the Pirates team name in a stylized ribbon across the bottom right.

Authenticity Indicators
Authentic. Features the correct 'glow' under UV of the 1991 card stock and grainy photo resolution typical of mass-production. High confidence. Not a target for counterfeiting due to high supply.
Flaws to Note
The card is off-center (heavy to the top and left). There is visible corner wear on the top edges. The card stock shows typical 1991 brown cardboard oxidation on the edges.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (as part of a lot), COMC, or Sportlots. Individually, it is best sold in a 'choose your card' style listing.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card unless it is a flawless PSA 10 candidate, as grading fees far exceed the value. Sell as part of a 1991 Topps team set or bulk lot to maximize interest. Use 'PWE' (Plain White Envelope) shipping to keep costs low.
