Description
Featured here is the 1991 Topps card of Ozzie Canseco (twin brother of Jose Canseco) in his Oakland Athletics uniform. The card features the 'Topps 40 Years of Baseball' logo in the upper left corner and the classic green and yellow inner borders unique to the '91 set. Ozzie is shown in a mid-swing action shot sporting his signature eye black.
Key Features
Brother of MLB superstar Jose Canseco; iconic 1991 Topps design celebrating the 40th anniversary of the company's baseball production.
Authenticity Indicators
Authenticity Confidence: High. This card is printed on standard gray cardboard stock typical of early 90s Topps. This card is not commonly counterfeited as it was mass-produced in the 'Junk Wax' era.
Flaws to Note
Heavy left-to-right centering issue (wide white border on the left, narrow on the right); white wear on the bottom right corner; slight 'snow' (white print specks) in the black background area behind the player's arms.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (as part of a lot), COMC, or Sportlots. Individually, this card is best suited for 'Dime Box' sales at a local card show.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card; the grading fee will be significantly more than the card's final value. Best sold bundled with other 1991 Topps cards or Oakland Athletics team lots to save on shipping costs. Use 'Standard Envelope' on eBay for cheap shipping.
