Description
Offering a 1989 Topps Pete Rose Manager card, number 107. The card features a classic 1989 Topps design with a red border, the Topps logo in the upper left corner, and a banner at the bottom reading 'PETE ROSE' with 'MANAGER' and the Cincinnati Reds script logo. The photo captures Rose in his Reds uniform looking back over his shoulder. A staple of late 1980s junk wax era baseball cards.
Key Features
Features baseball's all-time hit king, Pete Rose, during his final managerial stint with the Cincinnati Reds. This card comes from the iconic 1989 Topps set, recognizable by its distinct wood-grain or classic colored border designs, though this specific sub-series utilizes a clean red border.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence in authenticity. Standard 1989 Topps card stock, correct font types, and proper trademark symbols. This card is from the high-production junk wax era and is virtually never counterfeited due to its extremely low market value.
Flaws to Note
Noticeable top-to-bottom centering issues with a heavy top border. Soft corners, slight edge chipping on the top and left edges, and some surface print blemishes/wear are visible which significantly lower the potential grading tier.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
COMC, eBay (in a bulk lot), or local card shop dollar bins
Selling Tips
Due to the low value of raw 1980s base cards in mid-to-low condition, it is not cost-effective to grade this card. Best sold as part of a larger Pete Rose player lot or a complete 1989 Topps set rather than individually, to save on shipping costs.
