Description
Featured is the 1992 Upper Deck base card of Chicago Cubs pitcher Les Lancaster. This card features Upper Deck's iconic white-border design with a high-action photography shot from the pitching mound. The card front shows Lancaster in full wind-up wearing the classic Cubs home pinstripes. The bottom right features the 'Chicago Cubs' team name in bubble-style lettering, and the top left holds the 1992 Upper Deck logo.
Key Features
Features a high-quality action photo characteristic of early 90s Upper Deck; includes the classic Chicago Cubs pinstripe uniform; part of the 'Junk Wax Era' of high-production baseball cards.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. The card features the standard Upper Deck card stock of the early 90s, correct '92 logo printing, and the signature diamond-shaped hologram on the reverse (implied by set). This card is extremely unlikely to be counterfeited due to high production volume and low market value.
Flaws to Note
Slight right-to-left centering imbalance; minor corner wear on the bottom left; common white paper stock shows every microscopic surface imperfection; edge chipping is common but minimal here.
