This 1991 Upper Deck card features Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Randy Tomlin in his follow-through motion on the mound.

The card reverse features the iconic anti-counterfeit hologram.
Key Features
Early 90s junk-era nostalgia; clean photography typical of Upper Deck products; featuring a solid left-handed starter for the early 90s Pirates contenders.
Authenticity Indicators
Upper Deck anti-counterfeit hologram on reverse; standard card stock thickness; high-resolution printing typical of 1991 UD. Confidence: High (rarely counterfeited due to low value).
Flaws to Note
Significant 'soft' corners visible from photo; lack of protective sleeve (penny sleeve/toploader) while on carpet surface; potential for surface micro-scratches; extremely high population/mass-produced era.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold as part of a team lot or large bulk set on eBay or at a garage sale. Individual sale is not recommended due to shipping costs.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card, as the fees will never be recovered. Place in a penny sleeve and toploader to prevent further wear. Use 'PWE' (Plain White Envelope) shipping if selling individually to keep costs low for buyers.
