Description
This 1992-93 Upper Deck card features Minnesota Timberwolves guard Pooh Richardson in his 'Team MVP' subset. The design utilizes a full-bleed action photo with a white bottom border containing his name. The iconic 92-93 Upper Deck logo is located in the upper right. The reverse typically includes player stats and a hologram for authenticity.
Key Features
Features a classic early 90s action shot and the popular Team MVP subset design. Pooh Richardson was the first ever draft pick for the Timberwolves franchise.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. The card features the standard Upper Deck anti-counterfeit hologram on the reverse. This is not a commonly faked card due to its high production volume/junk wax era status.
Flaws to Note
Common issues for this set include white chipping on the delicate black edges of the photo area and soft corners. Centering appears slightly shifted toward the top.

Selling Tips
Do not grade this card; the cost of grading significantly outweighs the potential sale price. This card is best sold as part of a lot of Minnesota Timberwolves cards or 1992 Upper Deck cards to save on shipping costs.
