Description
This 1992 Topps Brian Jordan card features the two-sport star in his St. Louis Cardinals uniform. The design is classic early 90s Topps, featuring a white border with colorful geometric accents in green, yellow, and orange. Jordan is shown in an action shot running the bases. This represents one of Jordan's earliest primary Topps cards as he transitioned exclusively to baseball from the NFL.
Key Features
Early career card of a notable two-sport athlete (MLB/NFL). Part of the iconic 1992 Topps set known for its high production volume.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. This card is from the 'Junk Wax' era and was mass-produced. There is no incentive for counterfeiting this specific base card. Genuine card stock and dot-matrix print patterns are clearly visible.
Flaws to Note
Obvious left-to-right centering bias (heavy on the right). Slight chipping/softness on the bottom-left corner. Surface may have typical 1992 Topps print spots upon closer inspection.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (as part of a lot), COMC, or local card shop bulk bins. Selling as a single item online is difficult due to shipping costs outweighing the card value.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card unless it is a flawless 'Gem Mint' candidate, as the grading fee will result in a net loss. It is best sold as part of a Brian Jordan player lot or a 1992 St. Louis Cardinals team set. If listing on eBay, use eBay Standard Envelope for cheap shipping.
