Key Features
Features the Rookie Card (RC) designation logo for Andre King, a popular multi-sport athlete who ultimately played in the NFL instead of MLB.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. This card is from the 'junk wax' era and has virtually no motivation for counterfeiting. Card stock, printing patterns, and the matte-to-gloss ratio are consistent with Topps 1993 production.
Flaws to Note
Left-heavy centering on the front. Minor edge wear on the right side. Common for this year, white card stock is prone to showing corner dings easily.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (as a 'PWE' cheap single), COMC, or in a dollar/quarter bin at a local card show. Selling as part of a 1993 Topps complete set is the most common way this card moves.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card; the grading fees ($19+) significantly exceed the market value. List it for under $1 with 'Plain White Envelope' (PWE) shipping to attract collectors looking to finish a set. Use '1993 Topps Andre King Rookie' in the title.
