Condition Details
The card features significant edge and corner wear, particularly noticeable on the black borders which chip easily. Bottom-right corner shows visible whitening. Centering appears slightly shifted to the left.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The market value for this base card is very low, and the costs of grading would significantly exceed the potential resale value, especially given the visible corner/edge wear on the sensitive black borders.
Card Description
A 'Classic Combo' card featuring Alfonso Soriano of the Chicago Cubs (Outfield) and J.J. Hardy of the Milwaukee Brewers (Shortstop). Both players are shown in their home uniforms on the field as Soriano appears to be reaching out to Hardy. The design uses a black border aesthetic characteristic of the 2007 Topps set.
Notable Features
Facsimile (printed) autographs of both players are featured on the front of the card. It includes the 'Classic Combo' branding and the team names for both the Cubs and Brewers.
Authentication Notes
The signatures on the card are facsimile (printed as part of the card design) and not hand-signed. The card stock and print quality are consistent with 2007 Topps production standards; there are no signs of counterfeiting as this is a common base card.
