Description
A classic early 90s Topps card featuring Montreal Expos outfielder Marquis Grissom. The card commemorates Topps' 40th anniversary with the '40 Years of Baseball' logo in the upper left corner. Grissom is shown in his Expos warmup jacket and cap. The design features a red, white, and blue border scheme typical of the 1991 set.
Key Features
Early career card for a 2-time All-Star and 4-time Gold Glove winner. Features the iconic 1991 Topps 40th Anniversary logo. Nostalgic for Montreal Expos collectors.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. This card is mass-produced and not a target for counterfeiting. Correct card stock thickness and period-accurate color palette for 1991 Topps production.
Flaws to Note
Significant left-to-right centering issues (heavy left border). Minor white chipping on the corners. Potential common print 'fish-eyes' often found in this mass-produced set.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best suited for eBay 'bulk' listings, COMC (Check Out My Cards), or in a local card shop's quarter bin. Shipping individual raw copies is generally not cost-effective due to postage costs exceeding card value.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card unless you are certain it will achieve a PSA 10, as grading fees far exceed the market value of lower grades. List in a 'pick your card' style inventory listing on eBay or bundle with other Expos stars from the same era. Use eBay standard envelope for cheap shipping if sold individually.
