Description
A classic 1992 Topps baseball card featuring San Francisco Giants shortstop Royce Clayton in a throwing motion. The card features the iconic white-border design of the early 90s with the team name 'GIANTS' in bold black text at the bottom and a multi-colored name banner. The Topps logo is situated in the top left corner.
Key Features
Features a young Royce Clayton, who had a solid 17-season MLB career and was an All-Star in 1997. This card is part of the 'Junk Wax Era,' produced in massive quantities.
Authenticity Indicators
Authenticity confidence: High. This card is from a mass-produced era and is not a target for counterfeiting due to his low market value and high supply.
Flaws to Note
Unprotected condition (no sleeve or top loader), potential for surface scratches from the table surface, minor softening on corners, and typical high-volume production print dots.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold as part of a bulk team set or 'junk wax' lot on eBay, or placed in a 'quarter bin' at a local card show or shop. Individual sale online is not cost-effective due to shipping fees.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card; the grading fee will be significantly higher than the card's final value. If selling, group it with other 1990s Giants cards to attract team collectors. Always use a penny sleeve and top loader for shipping to prevent further damage.
