Description
A beautiful 1993 Topps Gold parallel card featuring Florida Marlins prospects Carl Everett and Darrell Whitmore. The card features a horizontal layout with a theater 'Coming Attractions' curtain theme in red and gold. The 'Topps Gold' logo is embossed in gold foil in the top left corner, distinguishing it from the standard base version.
Key Features
Topps Gold foil parallel; early career card for All-Star Carl Everett; horizontal 'Coming Attractions' subset design; features the inaugural Florida Marlins uniforms.
Authenticity Indicators
Correct gold foil stamping depth; 1993 Topps card stock thickness is standard; high-quality dot matrix printing on the red curtains. Confidence: High.
Flaws to Note
Centering is heavy toward the right and bottom edges. There is slight white chipping visible on the upper-right corner. The surface appears clean but common foil scratching is a risk for this set.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (low starting bid or PWE listing), COMC (best for processing low-value cards), or Sportlots.
Selling Tips
Listing as 'eBay Standard Envelope' is critical to keep shipping costs under $1.00, as the shipping cost otherwise exceeds the card value. Grading is not recommended unless it is a guaranteed PSA 10 candidate.
