Condition Details
Centering appears slightly shifted to the left and bottom. Corners look relatively sharp, though the bottom left corner may show minuscule white tipping. Surfaces appears clean with good gloss.
Grading Recommendation
Generally not recommended for grading unless seeking a personal collection 'slab.' The cost of grading typically exceeds the narrow market premium for a Bernie Williams non-rookie base parallel unless it is a guaranteed Gem Mint 10.
Card Description
Bernie Williams is shown in his New York Yankees home pinstripe uniform, fielding a fly ball at the wall. The design features a distinctive blue border, a secondary circular portrait on the bottom left, the Yankees team logo on the bottom right, and gold foil lettering for his name.
Notable Features
This is a 2002 Topps Blue Border parallel, which was a retail-exclusive release (primarily distributed through Wal-Mart). It is significantly rarer than the standard white-border base card.
Authentication Notes
The card exhibits correct Topps logo placement, crisp gold foil stamping, and appropriate pinstripe detail in the photography. No signs of counterfeiting are present.
