It includes a short biographical paragraph and a cartoon illustration in the top left corner.

Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (as a Low-BIN listing or part of a lot), COMC, or Sportlots. Too low in value for major auction houses.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card; the grading fee far outweighs the potential market value in this condition. List it with high-resolution scans of both front and back. Mention 'Viking' and 'Giants' in the tags to attract team-specific collectors.
