Condition Details
Observed whitening on the bottom right corner and right edge. The bottom edge shows slight chipping. Surface appears clean, though the left edge shows slight friction wear consistent with raw storage.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended. The cost of grading exceeds the market value of the card, as Steve Cooke is not a high-profile hall-of-famer or star prospect.
Card Description
Steve Cooke is depicted in a full-motion pitching delivery for the Pittsburgh Pirates. He is wearing the classic white home uniform with a black 'P' cap. The card features a distinct 1990s 'The Leaf Set' gold foil emblem on the bottom right with the '19 93' year designation.
Notable Features
Includes 'The Leaf Set' gold foil stamp. Though not officially marked with an RC logo, this is considered one of his early rookie-era cards.
Authentication Notes
Authentic 1993 Leaf product. Genuine gold foil stamping with correct indentations. Card stock and photo quality are consistent with Donruss/Leaf production from this era.
