Description
This 1992 Upper Deck Derek Bell Star Rookie card features the Blue Jays outfielder in a dugout pose wearing Oakley sunglasses and a Toronto '91 All-Star Game patch on his jersey. The card maintains Upper Deck's classic high-production design with a white border and the iconic foil hologram on the reverse (not pictured).
Key Features
Features the 'Star Rookie' logo in the bottom left corner; Derek Bell was a highly touted prospect in the early 90s and went on to be part of the 'Killer B's' with the Houston Astros.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence in authenticity; card stock thickness and print screening are consistent with genuine 1992 Upper Deck product. This card is not targeted by counterfeiters due to its low market value.
Flaws to Note
A dark speck or chip is visible on the right-hand white border mid-way down. The bottom-left corner shows slight fraying. The left-to-right centering is approximately 60/40, which may limit the grade to a PSA 8 or 9 even if the surface is perfect.

Selling Tips
