Key Features
Classic 1990 Topps design. Features a steady MLB pitcher who later became a rotation staple for the Colorado Rockies. Part of the 'Junk Wax' era of high production.
Authenticity Indicators
Authenticity confidence: High. This card is from an overproduced era and has no known counterfeits. Card stock is standard gray-toned cardboard used by Topps in 1990. Print patterns are consistent with authentic late-80s/early-90s lithography.
Flaws to Note
Significant centering issues common to this year; the card is shifted heavily toward the top-left. Visible white corner wear. Surface risk from being stacked without sleeves.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (as part of a bulk lot or team set), COMC (Check Out My Cards), or local card shop bulk bins. Selling as a single is generally not cost-effective due to shipping costs.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card, as the fees will be much higher than the card's worth. Best sold as part of a 'Detroit Tigers Team Lot' or a '1990 Topps Complete Set' to maximize the value of shipping. If listing on eBay, use 'Plain White Envelope' (PWE) shipping to keep costs down.
