Key Features
Official Rookie Card designation. Features a first-round draft pick (20th overall) from the 1992 MLB Draft. Part of the iconic 1992 Topps white-border design set.
Authenticity Indicators
Authenticity confidence is High. This card is from the high-production 'Junk Wax' era and is not a target for counterfeiters. Authentic indicators includes the specific Topps card stock feel and the dot-matrix printing pattern visible under magnification.
Flaws to Note
A slight right-to-left centering bias is visible. There is visible white chipping on the bottom right corner edge. Standard 1992 Topps card stock is prone to edge wear and corner softening.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold in bulk on eBay as part of a lot, or on COMC (Check Out My Cards) where buyers look for cheap singles to complete sets. Not recommended for major auction houses.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card, as the cost of grading is significantly higher than the potential sale price. List it as part of a '1992 Topps' or 'SDSU Baseball' lot to move it faster. If listing individually, use a plain white envelope (PWE) to keep shipping costs low for the buyer.
