Description
This 1991 Topps card features pitcher Steve Bedrosian in his Minnesota Twins uniform, shown in a dynamic follow-through pitching motion. The card features the 'Topps 40 Years of Baseball' logo in the top left corner, commemorating the anniversary of the 1951 Topps set. The design includes a classic red and blue inner border frame with the player's name and position printed at the bottom.
Key Features
Features the 40th Anniversary logo; Bedrosian is a former Cy Young Award winner (1987); classic junk-wax era design.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. The 'junk wax' era stock is distinctive with its slightly grey/brown cardboard back (if regular Topps) or white back (if Tiffany). Printed using standard 4-color offset lithography.
Flaws to Note
Visible centering shift towards the left border; minor soft corner at the top right; common white-border stock is prone to light staining or foxing over time.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold as part of a bulk lot on eBay, in a 'dime box' at a local card show, or through COMC for long-term inventory. Single sales are rarely profitable due to shipping costs.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card unless you are seeking a personal registry set, as the cost of grading far exceeds the market value. When selling online, include it as part of a '1991 Topps Team Set' or a large bulk lot of pitchers to maximize interest.
