Description
A classic 1991 Studio Scott Sanderson card featuring the iconic dual-photo design. The card showcases a large black-and-white action shot of Sanderson in his Yankees pinstripes in the background, with a vibrant color 'studio' portrait in the foreground. This set was revolutionary for its focus on high-quality portrait photography and thick card stock with a matte finish.
Key Features
Features the unique 'portrait and action' design of the inaugural 1991 Studio set. Represents a solid veteran pitcher during his stint with the New York Yankees.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. This card is not commonly counterfeited due to its high print volume and low market value. Authentic features include the standard matte card stock and the specific 'Studio' logo font.
Flaws to Note
Significant soft/bent bottom right corner. Minor surface scuffing visible on the matte finish. Top-to-bottom centering is slightly off.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold as part of a bulk team lot on eBay, or placed in a 'quarter bin' at a local card show. Not recommended for individual online sale due to shipping costs.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card; the fees will significantly outweigh the value. If selling, bundle it with other 1990s Yankees or Studio cards to make the shipping cost worthwhile for a buyer.
