Description
Offering a 1997 Topps Finest Finest Additions insert card featuring Mike Blowers of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Card number FA13. Features the classic 90s Chromium finish with the prominent protective peel coating still intact across the card face, showing the trademarked text. A nostalgic piece from the height of the 90s chromium insert era.
Key Features
Retains the original peel-off protective coating (highly sought after by 90s chromium purists); part of the condition-sensitive Topps Finest insert subset.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. Chromium card stock thickness is correct, reflective sheen and fonts match authentic 1997 Topps Finest production standards. Not a heavily counterfeited player or set.
Flaws to Note
Minor wear on top edge of the toploader; slight surface scuffing on the protective peel film itself rather than the card surface underneath.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
COMC, eBay (as part of a bulk lot or low-cost fixed price listing), or local card show dollar boxes.
Selling Tips
Do not remove the protective film yourself, as many collectors prefer 90s Finest cards with the peel intact. Best sold raw via eBay standard envelope shipping or bundled with other 90s inserts.
