Demand Level
Low - This is a mass-produced 'Junk Wax' era card. While Dawson is a legend, the high supply keeps market demand very low except for collectors seeking a PSA 10 version.
Valuation
Raw (Ungraded) Value
$0.25 - $1.00
Graded Value
PSA 8: $5-10, PSA 9: $15-20, PSA 10: $45-60
Comparable Sales
Raw copies typically sell for $0.50-$0.99. Recent PSA 10 sales have fluctuated between $40-$55, but reaching that grade is extremely difficult due to the dark ink showing every surface flaw.
Description
This 1991 Upper Deck card features a stylized artistic portrait of Hall of Famer André 'The Hawk' Dawson in his Chicago Cubs batting helmet. Part of the 'The Collector's Choice' artist series, the card trade's traditional photography for a vibrant painting. The design is framed by the classic thin white Upper Deck borders with the 'Collector's Choice' branding vertically on the side.
Key Features
Features Hall of Fame outfielder André Dawson; Art provided by Vern Wells; part of the popular early 90s Collector's Choice subset; high nostalgia value for 90s collectors.
Authenticity Indicators
Correct hologram on the reverse (standard for 1991 Upper Deck); proper typeface for 'The Collector's Choice'; card stock thickness matches early 90s UD issues. Confidence: High.
Flaws to Note
Centering is slightly off (right-heavy); visible chipping on the top white edge; possible surface scuffs on the dark blue backgrounds; general border yellowing common with 30-year-old white cardstock.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (as part of a player lot), COMC, or local card shop 'dollar bins'. Selling individually is difficult due to shipping costs exceeding card value.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card unless it is absolutely flawless, as the grading fee will exceed the card's value. Best sold as part of an 'André Dawson Cubs' lot or as a 'filler' for someone completing the 1991 set.
