Description
This 1991 Topps Rob Deer card celebrates the 40th anniversary of Topps baseball cards with the iconic 'Topps 40' logo in the upper left corner. The card features Deer in his Detroit Tigers home white uniform and classic navy cap. The design includes a colorful inner frame and the player's name and team name in stylized font at the bottom.
Key Features

Flaws to Note

Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold as part of a Detroit Tigers team set on eBay, or in a 'Junk Wax' bulk lot. Not recommended for individual sale due to shipping costs outweighing market value.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card, as the grading fee is significantly higher than the card's market value. Best used as a 'filler' card for collectors building the 1991 Topps set or for TTM (Through The Mail) autograph requests.
