Description
A 1988 Star Company baseball card featuring Bill Plummer as a coach for the Calgary Cannons. The card commemorates the Triple-A All-Star Game held on July 13, 1988, in Buffalo, NY. It features a blue border, a portrait photo of Plummer in his Calgary Cannons jersey, and a circular All-Star Game logo in the bottom left.
Key Features
Features former MLB catcher Bill Plummer during his coaching tenure; part of a specialized minor league All-Star set; regional/niche interest for Calgary Cannons collectors.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence in authenticity. The card stock, printing ink style (typical of Star's 1980s matte finish), and lack of high-value incentive make counterfeiting extremely unlikely.
Flaws to Note
Heavy rounding and whitening on the bottom-left corner; visible white chipping along the top and right edges; surface wear along the bottom blue strip; the card is not in a protective sleeve, leading to potential surface scratches.

Where to Sell
Best suited for eBay as a 'Buy It Now' with a low shipping cost (eBay Standard Envelope) or as part of a Calgary Cannons team set or coach lot.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card; the cost of grading far exceeds the market value. Use 'Bill Plummer Calgary Cannons' in the title. Place the card in a penny sleeve and top loader immediately to prevent further edge chipping.
