Condition Details
Visible edge wear and softening on top and right corners. The card appears to have surface dust or debris. Centering is irrelevant for this specific 'puzzle' design but appears standard for the print run. Note: The 'Ultra PRO' branding in the corner is on the protective sleeve, not the card.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. Market value for low-to-mid grade versions of this common 1990s base card does not cover the cost of grading fees.
Card Description
The card features a profile close-up of Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Mike Piazza. This card was designed as part of a three-card landscape mosaic in the 1996 Upper Deck Collector's Choice set. The background has a stylized, painterly texture typical of the 'CC' brand of that era.
Notable Features
Artistic 'Puzzle' or 'Mosaic' card design. Mike Piazza is a Hall of Fame catcher (Class of 2016).
Authentication Notes
Authentic 1996 Upper Deck stock. Counterfeiting is extremely rare for this specific low-value base set. The Ultra Pro logo on the overlay confirms it is in a top-loader or sleeve.
