Description
Up for consideration is a classic 1989 O-Pee-Chee rookie card featuring Hall of Fame left-handed pitcher Randy Johnson during his time with the Montreal Expos. The card features the iconic O-Pee-Chee logo in the top right corner, a crisp white border, and a vibrant purple frame surrounding the player photo. The Expos script logo and Johnson's name appear in bright red and blue at the bottom. A must-have for any 80s baseball collection or Hall of Fame rookie pc.
Key Features
Hall of Fame player, authentic rookie card, O-Pee-Chee Canadian variant which typically features slightly different card stock and higher scarcity than its US Topps counterpart.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence in authenticity. Check for standard O-Pee-Chee card stock thickness and the distinct back text styling typical of 1989 OPC production. No immediate red flags for trimming or counterfeiting.
Flaws to Note
Slight top-to-bottom centering bias with a thicker top white border. Minor corner softening consistent with a mid-grade vintage card. Surface appears clean within the top loader.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay or COMC for raw or lower-tier graded cards to reach a broad collector base.
Selling Tips
Due to the lower raw value, grading might not be cost-effective unless sold as part of a bulk submission. Take clear photos outside of the top loader on a dark background if selling raw. Ship securely in a penny sleeve, top loader, and team bag inside a bubble mailer.
