Description
A classic 1991 Topps Les Lancaster base card featuring the Chicago Cubs pitcher in mid-delivery. The card features the iconic 'Topps 40 Years of Baseball' logo in the top left corner, colorful red and blue piping borders, and the player name and team at the bottom. This card is part of the high-production 'Junk Wax' era.
Key Features
Features the 40th Anniversary Topps logo; Les Lancaster was a notable relief pitcher for the 1989 NL East Champion Cubs.
Authenticity Indicators
Authentic. Features standard 1991 Topps grey cardstock and period-correct printing dots. High confidence. This card is not targeted for counterfeiting due to low market value.
Flaws to Note
Extreme centering issues (heavy favor toward the top/right), soft and dinged corners, visible surface debris/scuffing, and poor edge quality. The card is currently loose in a stack, which risks further damage.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold as part of a bulk team lot or a completed 1991 Topps set on eBay. Local garage sales or donation to schools/charities are common for cards of this era.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card. The cost of shipping and grading far exceeds the market value. If selling, group it with other 1990s Cubs players to create a small lot. Keep in a penny sleeve if you wish to preserve what condition remains.
