Key Features
Popular insert subset from the 2002 Topps flagship release featuring one of the most prolific home run hitters in baseball history during his final playing years.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence in authenticity. Standard card stock, correct gloss coating, crisp font printing, and foil stamping match known 2002 Topps production standards. Not a heavily counterfeited card.
Flaws to Note
Minor centering shift favoring the right border; standard light surface wear consistent with a pack-fresh insert stored raw.

eBay or COMC are the best platforms for selling lower-value modern insert cards.
Selling Tips
Best sold raw as a single or bundled in a Mark McGwire player lot, as grading fees would easily exceed the potential added value of the card.
