Description
This is a 1990 Topps baseball card featuring legendary Los Angeles Dodgers manager Tom Lasorda, card number 434. The front features a classic horizontal-to-vertical design layout with a rounded top-left corner on the photo border, showcasing Lasorda in his Dodgers uniform with his arms crossed. The team name 'Dodgers' and player name 'Tom Lasorda' appear in a colorful script and banner design at the bottom right. The back contains player bio and career statistics against a typical gray-to-woodgrain background common to the era.
Key Features
Featuring Hall of Fame manager Tom Lasorda in the iconic 1990 Topps design. Highly nostalgic set for 90s collectors, though mass-produced.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence in authenticity. Standard card stock and printing dot matrix patterns typical of 1990 Topps base cards. This card is rarely counterfeited due to its extremely low market value.
Flaws to Note
Slight corner softening visible on the top-left and bottom-left corners. Centering appears slightly heavy toward the left border on the front. Light surface wear consistent with raw cards from this era.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (as part of a lot or bulk listing) or COMC. Selling individually will yield less profit than the cost of shipping.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card, as grading fees far exceed the value of the card at any grade. Best sold as part of a 1990 Topps team set or bulk lot. Ship safely in a penny sleeve and top loader if selling individually.
