Description
The 1992 Stadium Club Stu Cole features a high-gloss photography-focused design. Stu Cole is shown in his Kansas City Royals uniform with a blue cap. The card features the classic gold foil Stadium Club logo in the corner and a full-bleed photo design that was revolutionary for the early 90s.
Key Features
Features the high-quality Kodak photo technology used by Stadium Club in the early 90s. Stu Cole was a reliable minor league prospect who played briefly for the Royals.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. This is a common card from the 'Junk Wax' era and is not a target for counterfeiting. The foil stamping and high-gloss coating are consistent with original production.
Flaws to Note
Soft corners are visible on the top-left card. Dark borders on Stadium Club cards from this era are prone to 'chipping' where the white paper stock shows through. Significant surface scratches are common on this high-gloss finish.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold as part of a Kansas City Royals team set or a bulk lot on eBay. Not worth selling individually due to shipping costs exceeding the card's value.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card. Professional grading costs roughly $20 per card, which is significantly more than the card is worth. Group this with other Royal cards or 1992 Stadium Club cards to sell as a 'lot'.
