Condition Details
Slight corner rounding and minor edge wear consistent with age, surface appears clean within the top loader, but exact corners and back cannot be fully verified without removal.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading unless under close magnification it grades a strong PSA 9 or 10, given the relatively low cost of raw copies and grading fees.
Card Description
Features Frank Thomas in an Auburn University uniform on a baseball field, kneeling near home plate. The card has a bright border design with a 'White Sox #1 Draft Pick' banner at the top and his name in a blue box at the bottom.
Notable Features
Widely recognized as one of Frank Thomas's primary Rookie Cards, featuring him as the White Sox number one draft pick before he made his major league debut.
Authentication Notes
Appears authentic based on standard font, image clarity, and card stock dimensions typical of 1990 Topps production, though examination out of the top loader is necessary to confirm paper stock authenticity.
