Condition Details

Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The cost of the grading fee exceeds the market value of the card unless it is a guaranteed Gem Mint 10 for a personal collection.
Card Description
The card features Chicago Cubs pitcher Kerry Wood in his home pinstripe uniform delivering a pitch. The background features a 'K' pattern signifying strikeouts, celebrating his 20-strikeout performance. It has a distinctive gold border design.
Notable Features
Features the 'Strikeout Kings' themed insert logo in the upper left corner and the classic Topps and Chicago Cubs logos at the bottom.
Authentication Notes
The gold foil stamping and the specific registration of the dot-matrix print pattern in the background are consistent with official 1999 Topps production.
