Description
This 1993-94 Upper Deck Rookie Exchange card features the #2 overall pick Shawn Bradley in his Philadelphia 76ers jersey. This was a redemption card received by collectors who mailed in the 'Trade' card found in packs. The card features a vertical action shot of Bradley dunking against the Boston Celtics, with a distinct red 'Rookie Exchange' logo and silver holofoil 'ROOKIE' text running vertically down the left side.
Key Features
Rookie card of the #2 overall draft pick; early 90s Upper Deck redemption-only product; iconic 7'6" center image.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. Card features the correct Upper Deck 1993-94 hologram on back and characteristic high-gloss cardstock. This card is not commonly counterfeited due to low raw value.
Flaws to Note
Significant right-side centering bias; potential for edge chipping on the rear black borders; silver holofoil text on front is prone to scratching.

Selling Tips
Do not grade unless it is a guaranteed PSA 10, as grading costs exceed the market value of a PSA 9. Use high-resolution scans to show the holofoil is intact.
