Description
Featured here is the 1988 Topps Manny Lee card, featuring the Toronto Blue Jays infielder in his signature blue dugout jacket. This card features the classic 1988 Topps design with the team name 'Blue Jays' in script at the bottom right and the player's name in a curved banner.
Key Features
Classic 1988 design; Manny Lee was a key member of the 1992 World Series Champion Blue Jays.
Authenticity Indicators
Genuine card; the print dot pattern, card stock thickness, and flat finish are consistent with mass-produced late 80s Topps. Confidence: High.
Flaws to Note
Significant top-to-bottom centering issues (bottom border is much thicker than the top); noticeable edge wear on the left side; slight corner dings visible.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (in an 80s/90s bulk lot), COMC (penny sleeve port), or local 'nickel boxes' at card shows.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card, as the fees are much higher than the potential sale price. This card is best sold as part of a complete 1988 Topps set or a team lot for Blue Jays fans.
