Condition Details
There is a prominent vertical surface crease/wrinkle along the top border running into the player photo above the letter 'E' in 'TIGERS'. The top edge displays minor rough cutting, corners show slight softness/rounding, and centering is noticeably off-center top-to-bottom and left-to-right.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The card exhibits visible creasing and off-center alignment. Grading fees would significantly exceed the card's secondary market value.
Card Description

The iconic 1989 Topps design includes team name 'TIGERS' in bold orange letters at the top, an orange inner frame, a green diagonal banner in the bottom-right corner displaying 'BILLY BEAN', and the classic 'Topps' logo in the bottom-left corner.
Notable Features
Standard base card from the mass-produced 1989 Topps set.
