Authenticity Indicators
Authenticity confidence is High. Printed on standard 1991 gray-back card stock with matte finish. This is not a frequently counterfeited card due to high production volume.
Flaws to Note
Centering is biased toward the right border. Top-right corner shows a slight touch of whitening. Standard 'junk wax' era card stock is prone to light surface scratches and printer hickeys.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold as part of a lot on eBay, or as a single on COMC for set builders. Local card shop bulk bins.
Selling Tips
Unless you are certain the card is a flawless PSA 10 candidate, it is not financially viable to grade due to high production numbers. Ship in a penny sleeve and top loader. Use 'PWE' (Plain White Envelope) shipping for low-value cards to keep costs down for the buyer.
