Description
This 2017 Panini Diamond Kings insert features Hall of Famer Rickey Henderson in his iconic Oakland Athletics uniform. Designed with the classic artistic, painted aesthetic that the Diamond Kings brand is known for, the card depicts 'The Man of Steal' awaiting a pitch. The background is a solid forest green that highlights the A's team colors, labeled with the 'All-Time Diamond Kings' banner at the top and his name prominently at the bottom.
Key Features
Features a first-ballot Hall of Fame legend. Artistic Diamond Kings design. Part of the 'All-Time' legend insert subset. High brand recognition among Panini baseball collectors.
Authenticity Indicators
Authentic. Correct card stock for 2017 Panini issues. The printing of the Diamond Kings logo and typography matches known production samples. Not a commonly counterfeited card due to relatively low market value.
Flaws to Note
Noticeable whitening on the bottom left and top right corners. The green borders are very susceptible to showing edge wear, which is visible on the right side. The card is not in a protective sleeve or top loader in the photo, suggesting potential surface micro-scratching.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform for a single card of this value. It can also be sold in a 'dollar bin' at a local card show or as part of a Rickey Henderson team lot to increase attractiveness to buyers.
Selling Tips
This card is not a candidate for professional grading as the fees would far exceed its market value. List it with the 'Rickey Henderson Oakland A's' keywords. Use a penny sleeve and top loader before shipping. For low-value cards under $20, use eBay Standard Envelope for cheap, tracked shipping.
