Description
This 1997 Upper Deck SPx Jeff George card features the iconic die-cut design and full-card holoview technology of the late 90s. The 'Gold' parallel is distinguished by the gold-stamped SPx logo and borders. Jeff George is shown in his Oakland Raiders uniform in a dynamic passing pose.
Key Features
Premium 90s die-cut design, Gold parallel version, Holoview 3D-style imagery, and iconic Oakland Raiders branding.
Authenticity Indicators
Upper Deck's proprietary Holoview technology is very difficult to replicate; the depth of the 3D image and the crispness of the gold foil stamping indicate a genuine product. Confidence: High.
Flaws to Note
The SPx series is notorious for surface scratches on the delicate holographic finish. Based on the photo, there are light scratches on the right side. The die-cut corners are also prone to chipping and whitening.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (as a Buy It Now) or COMC (Check Out My Cards). This is a great addition for a 'player collector' or someone completing the 1997 SPx Gold set.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card; the fees will far outweigh the market value. List it as '1997 SPx Gold Jeff George Raiders' to attract team and player collectors. Use a clean penny sleeve and top loader for shipping to prevent further surface scratches.
