Description
Stunning 2015 Leaf 25th Anniversary Edition card featuring Chicago White Sox legend and Hall of Famer Frank 'The Big Hurt' Thomas. This card features a crisp, bold on-card autograph in blue ink across the chest of the player. The design utilizes a classic Leaf aesthetic with a black background and a celebratory 25th Anniversary logo in the bottom left corner.
Key Features
Hall of Fame player, on-card signature (not a sticker), anniversary edition, clean blue ink autograph, high-contrast black and white design.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. The ink shows natural variation in pressure typical of a real autograph; the Leaf 25th logo and typography match known production standards; card stock thickness is consistent with 2015 Leaf Anniversary products.
Flaws to Note
Corners appear slightly soft; white borders on thick cardstock are prone to minor chipping. Centering seems slightly shifted toward the bottom.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform for this card due to the high volume of Frank Thomas collectors. Alternatively, COMC (Check Out My Cards) is good for high-end modern autographs.
Selling Tips
Highlight 'ON-CARD AUTO' and 'HOF' in the title. Use high-resolution photos to show the corners and the signature clearly. If the surface is clean, consider grading with PSA to verify the autograph and protect the card corners.
