Recent Sales
The 1991 Topps Greg Olson typically sells as part of bulk lots or for under $1 on platforms like eBay. There is virtually no premium for this specific card unless it is the 'Desert Shield' parallel variant, which this is not.
Condition Details
The card exhibits significant damage including a heavy corner crease/dent in the bottom-left corner with paper loss. Centering is shifted toward the bottom and left edges. Surface shows general wear consistent with the 'Junk Wax' era storage.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The cost of the grading service (approx $15-$20+) far exceeds the market value of the card, and the visible damage (bottom left corner) would result in a very low grade.
Card Description
The card features Greg Olson, catcher (C) for the Atlanta Braves. He is shown in a portrait shot wearing a Braves cap and jersey, holding a bat. The card design features blue borders and the 'Topps 40 Years of Baseball' anniversary logo in the top left corner.
Notable Features
Includes the 40th Anniversary logo. Note: This card is from the 'Junk Wax' era, which was characterized by extreme overproduction, making most base cards from this period common and low in value.
Authentication Notes
The card appears authentic to the 1991 Topps set. The print quality, card stock, and design alignment match the standard factory output for this year.
