Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. The card features the distinct Upper Deck diamond-shaped hologram on the reverse, crisp font resolution, and standard card stock. This card is not commonly counterfeited due to high production numbers.
Flaws to Note

Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (as part of a lot), COMC (Check Out My Cards) for individual sales, or local card shop '50-cent bins.' Not recommended for major auction houses.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card unless it is a flawless candidate for a PSA 10 and you are a personal collector; grading fees will exceed the market value. Best sold as part of a 1992 Upper Deck complete set or a Philadelphia Phillies team lot to maximize shipping efficiency.
