Description
This 1990-91 SkyBox Robert Parish card features the Hall of Fame Celtics center in his classic green jersey. The card back (shown) displays comprehensive career statistics and biographical data. Known for its 'computer-generated' graphics, the 1990 SkyBox set is a cornerstone of the junk wax era.
Key Features
Hall of Fame player, iconic inaugural SkyBox set design, detailed statistical breakdown on reverse.
Authenticity Indicators
Authenticity confidence is High. The card stock depth, matte finish on the back, and standard 1990 print dot patterns are consistent with original production. This card is not commonly counterfeited due to high supply.
Flaws to Note
Significant right-side centering bias on the borders, minor white 'fisheye' or print defect near the player's chin/neck, and light corner softness on the bottom right.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold as part of a team set or Hall of Fame lot on eBay, or in a 'quarter bin' at a local card show. Not recommended for individual grading or high-end auction houses.
Selling Tips
Bundle this with other 1980s/90s Celtics stars like Larry Bird or Kevin McHale to increase interest. Use 'PWE' (Plain White Envelope) shipping to keep costs lower than the card's value.
