Authenticity Indicators
High Confidence. Standard card stock for 1992 Topps; correct font for player name and team; no evidence of trimming. This card is from the 'junk wax' era and is not a target for counterfeiting.
Flaws to Note
Left-to-right centering is slightly off; very minor white tip on the bottom right corner; typical 1992 Topps gloss can show hairline scratches under high magnification.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell

Selling Tips
