Description
This 1992 Pinnacle card features Cardinals prospect and 1st Round Draft Pick Allen Watson. The card utilizes Pinnacle's iconic deep black border design with a sleek portrait photo. The bottom left features the '1st Round Draft Pick' logo, and the card includes the anti-counterfeit Pinnacle typography in the top right.
Key Features
Watson was the 21st overall pick in the 1991 MLB Draft. This card is part of the 'Draft Pick' subset within the 1992 Pinnacle set, which was known for its premium photography and high-gloss finish.
Authenticity Indicators
Authenticity confidence is High. The card shows the characteristic high-gloss UV coating and sharp typography. This card is not commonly counterfeited due to low market value from the 'Junk Wax' era.
Flaws to Note
The black borders on 1992 Pinnacle are notorious for showing 'chipping'—revealing the white cardstock underneath. There is visible wear on the top left corner and along the left edge. Centering of the inner white frame is shifted slightly toward the left.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (best as part of a lot), COMC (for individual listing with long-term storage), or Sportlots for set builders.
Selling Tips
At this value, the cost of professional grading exceeds the value of the card. It is best sold in a 'Cardinals Team Lot' or as part of a 1992 Pinnacle set. If selling individually, use a penny sleeve and top loader in a plain white envelope (PWE) to keep shipping costs low.
