Description
This 1991 Topps card features Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Rob Deer. The design is iconic for its neon-infused 40th-anniversary border, featuring a purple and white speckled outer frame and a blue inner line. Deer is shown in a side profile wearing the classic 1990s Brewers uniform. The Topps 40th Anniversary logo is printed on the back of cards from this set.
Key Features
Part of the Topps 40th Anniversary set; features a classic 1990s 'slugger' known for high home run totals and high strikeout numbers; nostalgic colorful design.
Authenticity Indicators
Authenticity confidence is High. The card stock is the standard gray/brown recycled paper used by Topps in 1991. The dot-matrix printing pattern is consistent with the era. This card is not targeted by counterfeiters due to mass production.
Flaws to Note
The card is off-center top-to-bottom. There is visible whitening and softening on the lower right corner. The purple borders of this set are notorious for showing 'chipping' white spots, which are present on the left edge.
