Description
A classic 1991 Upper Deck Hubie Brooks #137 featuring Brooks in his New York Mets uniform. The card showcases Upper Deck's signature high-quality photography from the 'junk wax era', with Brooks captured in a dynamic baserunning motion. It includes the iconic 1991 Upper Deck logo in the top left and the Mets team logo in the bottom right corner.
Key Features
Features Hubie Brooks, a 2x All-Star and Silver Slugger winner; part of the popular 1991 Upper Deck set known for the first-ever finding of autographed inserts (Nolan Ryan).
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. Card stock shows the correct white semi-gloss finish typical of early 90s Upper Deck; the anti-counterfeit hologram on the reverse (not pictured but standard for set) and dot-matrix print pattern are correct.
Flaws to Note
A slight left-to-right centering bias is present. There is very minor white chipping visible on the bottom right corner edge. Typical 'junk wax' era overproduction affects long-term scarcity.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (as part of a team lot or set), COMC (Check Out My Cards), or local card shop bulk bins.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card, as the grading fees ($19+) will be much higher than the card's final value. Best sold as part of a New York Mets team lot or as a 'filler' to complete a 1991 Upper Deck master set.
