Description
Featured is a 1992 Upper Deck card of San Diego Padres pitcher Craig Lefferts. The card features a high-action photography shot typical of the early 90s Upper Deck era, showing Lefferts mid-pitch in his Padres road uniform. The front utilizes a clean white border with the classic green Upper Deck logo in the top left and the Padres team logo in the bottom right.
Key Features
Features a veteran relief pitcher from the 1980s and 90s; representative of the high-quality photography established by Upper Deck in the early 1990s.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence - Genuine. Includes the trademark Upper Deck hologram on the reverse (implied by set). The printing style, card stock thickness, and logo placement are all consistent with 1992 mass-market production.
Flaws to Note
Slight left-to-right centering bias. Minor edge whitening visible on the white borders. At this age, 'junk wax' cards frequently suffer from light surface scratches visible under high light.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold as part of a lot on eBay, or through a high-volume platform like COMC (Check Out My Cards). Individual sales are difficult due to shipping costs outweighing the card value.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card, as the grading fee will be significantly higher than the final sale price. Listing it as part of a San Diego Padres team set or a '1992 Upper Deck Complete Your Set' listing is the most effective way to move this card. For photography, ensure the white borders are not washed out by camera flash.
