Description
Featured here is a 1992 Upper Deck Dick Schofield card, number 161. The card showcases the classic early 90s Upper Deck design, featuring a crisp action shot of the California Angels infielder in his home white uniform. The reverse side (not shown) typically includes career statistics and a second smaller photo. This card represents the height of the 'Junk Wax' era, famous for its high-quality photography and clean white borders.
Key Features
Classic 1990s Upper Deck photography, California Angels team branding, and featuring a solid 14-year MLB veteran who was a key part of the 1993 World Series champion Blue Jays shortly after this card was printed.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. The Upper Deck logo in the top left, the specific font for 'Dick Schofield', and the signature hologram on the back (not pictured but standard for the set) are key markers. This card is not targeted for counterfeiting due to high production volume.
Flaws to Note
Centering is slightly off to the left. As a 30-year-old unprotected card, there is likely subtle surface scratching only visible under magnification and light edge whitening characteristic of the card stock from this era.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold as part of a team lot or set on eBay, or sold in 'dime boxes' at local card shows. High-end auction houses would not accept this card for individual sale.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card; the grading fee will significantly outweigh the market value. Best used as a 'filler' for common lots. When listing, use keywords like 'California Angels', '1992 Upper Deck', and 'Shortstop'.
