Description
A clean example of Juan Samuel's 1992 Topps issue, card #568. This card features the classic 1992 Topps design with vertical red ticker-style lines bordering the player image. Samuel is shown in a follow-through batting stance wearing the classic Cincinnati Reds pinstriped home uniform. The back (not pictured) contains his full career statistics up to 1991.
Key Features
Features Juan Samuel, a 3-time All-Star and 1980s speedster, in a Reds uniform. Part of the iconic 1992 Topps set which is famous for its clean white borders and colorful graphic accents.
Authenticity Indicators
Authenticity Confidence: High. The card stock shows the correct greyish-brown pulp consistency of early 90s Topps. The red ink is saturated, and the white borders show no signs of modern digital printing. This card is not commonly counterfeited due to low market value.
Flaws to Note
The centering is slightly shifted to the right border. Top-left corner shows a minor white touch. 'Junk Wax' era high print runs limit the scarcity and value significantly regardless of condition.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (as a PWE/low-cost listing), COMC (Check Out My Cards), or as part of a bulk Reds team lot on Facebook Marketplace.
Selling Tips
Due to high shipping costs relative to the card's value, it is best sold in a 'Pick Your Team' or 'Pick Your Card' multi-listing. Use 'EBAY Standard Envelope' for cheap tracking. Grading is not recommended as the cost of grading ($19+) far exceeds the market value of the card.
