Description
This 1991 Pacific Tim McGee card features the Cincinnati Bengals star wide receiver in his iconic home tiger-stripe uniform. The card boasts the classic early 90s Pacific design with a vertical green nameplate on the left side and orange diagonal accents at the top and bottom. The Pacific logo is prominently displayed in the bottom left corner.
Key Features
Tim McGee's tenure as a key target for Boomer Esiason during the Bengals' Super Bowl XXIII era; nostalgic early 90s Pacific 'stat-heavy' design; crisp action photography.
Authenticity Indicators
High Confidence. The card stock, printing dot matrix pattern, and Pacific logo font are consistent with authentic 1991 Pacific production. This card is not targeted by counterfeiters due to its low market value.
Flaws to Note
Obvious centering issues with a heavy right-side border bias. Minor white chipping visible on the top-left edge/corner. The card is generally common and from the 'Junk Wax' era of overproduction.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (as part of a team lot), COMC, or Sportlots. It is best sold in bulk with other Bengals cards to make shipping costs worthwhile.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card, as the cost of grading far exceeds the potential return. Use 'Cincinnati Bengals Team Lot' in your title if selling on eBay. Shipping should be done via USPS Ground Advantage or eBay Standard Envelope for minimal cost.
