Description
A stunning 1991 O-Pee-Chee Premier Eric Davis card featuring a high-action follow-through photo of the Reds star. The card boasts the iconic gold 'Premier' stamp in the top left and features bilingual (English/French) text on the front: 'Eric Davis - Reds - Outfielder / Voltigeur.' This Canadian parallel to the Topps product features bright white card stock and a glossy finish.
Key Features
Includes the rare Canadian market O-Pee-Chee branding; High-action photography; Iconic 90s Cincinnati Reds uniform; Harder to find than standard Topps cards from the same year.
Authenticity Indicators
Correct bright white card stock (standard for OPC Premier vs. gray Topps stock); crisp logo printing; bilingual text correctly formatted. High confidence in authenticity; this card is rarely counterfeited due to low market value.
Flaws to Note
Top-to-bottom centering is heavy toward the bottom edge (photo is shifted down relative to the borders). Light corner touches on the bottom right and top left corners. Minor surface dust.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (low-cost PWE shipping), ComC, or as part of a lot of Cincinnati Reds cards. Not recommended for major auction houses.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card unless you are looking for a personal 'slab' for your collection; the grading fees will exceed the market value of a PSA 8 or 9. List as 'O-Pee-Chee' specifically rather than Topps to attract Canadian set builders.
