Recent Sales
Common cards from this era typically sell in bulk lots or as 10-cent bin fillers. Specific recent sales for this base card are negligible due to high print volume.
Condition Details
Visible chipping and whitening along the bottom edge; softening of the bottom-left and bottom-right corners; minor surface dimples visible in the dark background area; full-bleed design shows significant edge wear.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The card is a common from the 'junk wax' era with significant condition issues. The cost of grading exceeds the market value of the card by a wide margin.
Card Description
The card features Eddie Taubensee of the Houston Astros in a batting stance, wearing the classic 1990s white 'rainbow shoulder' uniform. It is a full-bleed photo design typical of the Stadium Club brand, featuring a gold foil nameplate and the Stadium Club logo at the bottom-center.
Notable Features
Features high-gloss UV coating and gold foil stamping; part of the early premium photography movement in the early 90s hobby.
Authentication Notes
Stamping of the Topps Stadium Club logo and gold foil nameplate appear consistent with authentic 1993 production. No signs of counterfeiting present, as the card's low market value makes it an unlikely target for replication.
