Description
This 1991 Topps baseball card features Atlanta Braves first baseman Gerald Perry in mid-stride. The design is iconic for its 40th-anniversary logo on the reverse (though not visible here) and its vibrant purple and reddish-orange border accents. The photography captures Perry in his road Braves uniform.
Key Features
Classic 1991 Topps 40th Anniversary design; Gerald Perry was a 1988 All-Star, making this a common card of a recognizable player from the late 80s/early 90s era.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. The card stock, matte finish, and specific 'junk wax' era print dot patterns are authentic. These cards are not targeted by counterfeiters due to mass production.
Flaws to Note
Significant whitening on the top corners; left-to-right centering is slightly off; bottom-heavy border centering; potential surface scratches from stored in a loose stack as pictured.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold as part of a bulk lot of Atlanta Braves cards or a complete 1991 Topps set on eBay or at a local card show in a 'dollar bin' or 'nickel bin'.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card, as the cost of grading ($19+) is much higher than the card's potential value. To sell, combine it with other 1990s Braves cards to make a small 'team bag' for a few dollars. If listing online, use the 'Standard Envelope' shipping option to keep costs low.
