Key Features
90s Pinnacle insert set, distinctive gold foil stamping and textured background, features Hall of Fame slugger Frank Thomas during his prime years with the Chicago White Sox.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence in authenticity. Standard 1996 Pinnacle card stock, correct foil stamping texture, and proper team/player imagery. This insert from a mainstream 90s set is rarely counterfeited due to low profit margins on fakes.
Flaws to Note
Card is stored in a binder page which can introduce subtle corner softening, minor edge chipping, or surface indentation from adjacent cards. Exact surface scratches cannot be fully ruled out without removing the card.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay, COMC, or Facebook card groups as part of a lot or individual low-cost listing.
Selling Tips
Due to the low raw value, it is not economically viable to grade this card independently. Sell raw as a single or bundle it with other 90s inserts. Ship securely in a penny sleeve, top loader, and team bag using a standard envelope with tracking or bubble mailer.
