Description
This is a minor league team-issue card featuring infielder Scott McClain in his Rochester Red Wings uniform. The card showcases a full-bleed action photo of McClain throwing, complete with a prominent, bold hand-signed autograph in black sharpie across the center of the card. The bottom features a red nameplate with the player's name and the Rochester Red Wings logo.
Key Features
Hand-signed autograph by minor league veteran and professional baseball journeyman Scott McClain; local team-issue minor league card which typically has a lower print run than major manufacturer sets.
Authenticity Indicators
The autograph appears to be a genuine in-person hand signature in sharpie, showing natural flow and pressure. The card stock is standard for early 2000s minor league team sets. Confidence: Medium due to lack of tamper-evident certification for the autograph.
Flaws to Note
Visible corner softening, minor edge wear along the bottom and side borders, and potential surface wear residing on the card stock underneath the protective sleeve.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay or dedicated minor league/team collector Facebook groups.
Selling Tips
Since the raw value is very low and the cost of third-party authentication and grading would exceed the card's total value, it is best sold raw as a collectible for team or player completionists. List with clear photos outside the protective sleeve if possible, using descriptive keywords.
