Authenticity Indicators

Flaws to Note
Minor chipping is visible along the edges, which is a common issue with dark-colored, full-bleed cards from this set. There is slight corner softing on the lower right edge and minor surface micro-scratching on the high-gloss coating.

Selling Tips
Do not grade this card, as the cost of grading ($15+) far exceeds the market value of the card. If selling online, include 'San Francisco Giants' and 'Junk Wax Era' in keywords. For shipping, use a standard envelope (PWE) to keep costs low for the buyer.
