Description
This 1991 Pacific football card features New York Giants legendary quarterback Phil Simms. The card design includes a vibrant blue vertical name bar on the left and a distinctive Pacific logo at the bottom left. The action shot captures Simms in his home blue Giants jersey dropping back to pass. The card is finished with a high-gloss coating typical of Pacific products from the early 90s.
Key Features
Features Super Bowl XXI MVP Phil Simms; popular 90s design known for high-quality photography and glossy finish.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence - Genuine. Pacific used a specific high-gloss card stock that is difficult to replicate. The printing of the Pacific logo and team/position text at the bottom is crisp and well-saturated.
Flaws to Note
Slight top-to-bottom centering bias toward the bottom; very minor whitening on bottom right corner; potential for surface 'bricking' or sticking if stored in poor conditions due to high-gloss coating.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (as part of a player lot or set filler), COMC (Check Out My Cards) for long-term inventory, or local card shows in the New York/New Jersey area.
Selling Tips
Avoid grading this card unless it is a guaranteed Gem Mint (PSA 10) candidate, as grading fees will exceed the market value of a Grade 8 or 9. List as part of a Phil Simms or New York Giants lot to maximize interest and save on shipping.
