Condition Details
Protective peel shows heavy scratches and scuffs; centering is heavily shifted toward the left and bottom; bottom-left corner shows minor blunting; edges appear slightly rough.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The centering is significantly off-spec, and the visible surface wear on the peel, while intended to protect the card, makes it difficult to achieve a high grade without removal. The cost of grading exceeds the likely market value increase.
Card Description
Will Clark is depicted in a Texas Rangers home uniform, wearing a red cap and eye black. He is shown in a crouched fielding position with a glove on his left hand. The design features a heavy geometric background with a rainbow metallic finish and the 'Sterling' banner at the top.
Notable Features
Includes original 'Topps Finest Protective Coating' peel; 'Refractor' technology creates a rainbow shine under light; features Sterling subset design.
Authentication Notes
Authentic 1990s Topps Finest stock. The 'Peel and Remove' text alignment and holographic refractor effect are consistent with genuine Topps production from 1996.
