Description
A classic 1992 Topps baseball card featuring Chicago Cubs outfielder Doug Dascenzo. The card showcases the iconic multi-colored 1992 design with a purple and white dot-patterned border.

Authenticity Indicators
Authenticity confidence is High. This is a common card from the 'Junk Wax' era and is not a target for counterfeiting. Card stock, ink patterns, and typography all match standard 1992 Topps production.

Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold as part of a lot on eBay, or through a platform like COMC (Check Out My Cards). Individual shipping costs generally outweigh the value of the card.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card, as the cost of grading is significantly higher than the potential resale value. If selling, bundle it with other 1990s Cubs players or list in a large bulk lot to make the shipping cost worthwhile for a buyer.
