Description
A classic early 90s premium card featuring Chicago Cubs outfielder Dwight Smith. The card design utilizes the iconic 1993 Ultra full-bleed crisp photography with gold foil lettering. Smith is pictured in his road gray Cubs uniform holding a bat. The bottom features the name and team/position in marbleized colored bars.
Key Features
Premium card stock for the era, gold foil stamping, and high-quality gloss finish. Dwight Smith was a key member of the 1989 'Boys of Zimmer' Cubs team and a runner-up for Rookie of the Year.
Authenticity Indicators
High Confidence. The gold foil has the correct luster and the printing on the marble bars is sharp. This card is not a target for counterfeiting due to its high production volume.
Flaws to Note
Minor centering issues (right-heavy). Dark borders on the 1993 Ultra set are prone to minor chipping, though this specimen appears relatively clean. Potential surface 'bricking' or sticking if it was stored in a stack.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold as part of a lot on eBay or listed on Sportlots/COMC. It is not worth selling individually on high-end auction sites.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card. The cost of the plastic slab is 10-20x the value of the card itself. If selling, list it as 'Buy It Now' with a Plain White Envelope (PWE) shipping option to keep costs low for the buyer.
