Description
A classic 1992 Upper Deck Bill Swift #378 featuring the Seattle Mariners pitcher in his blue team windbreaker, blowing a bubble with pink gum.

Key Features
Candid 'bubble gum' photography which is a favorite among subset/oddity collectors; features Bill Swift during his time with the Seattle Mariners; part of the early premium Upper Deck era.
Authenticity Indicators
Upper Deck anti-counterfeit hologram present on the reverse (implied by set), correct matte/gloss stock ratio, and 1992 specific logo styling. High confidence in authenticity; this card is not known to be counterfeited due to low market value.
Flaws to Note
Visible centering shift towards the top edge. Minor edge wear visible on the right side. The heavy light glare in the photo obscures potential surface scratches, but minor dimples are common for this high-gloss stock.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold as part of a Seattle Mariners team set or a 1992 Upper Deck complete set. Individual sales are best suited for COMC or eBay 'dollar bin' listings to minimize shipping overhead.
Selling Tips
Do NOT grade this card as fees ($19+) far outweigh the $0.25 market value. Use 'Mojo' or 'Bubble' in keywords to attract oddity collectors. Ship in a Plain White Envelope (PWE) with cardboard protection to keep costs lower than the card's worth.
