Condition Details
The card exhibits slight corner softening and minor edge wear. The centering appears slightly heavy toward the left border (bottom in the orientation of the photo).
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The cost of the grading service (approx. $19-$25) significantly exceeds the market value of the card. These cards were overproduced during the 'Junk Wax' era.
Card Description
The card features Hall of Famer Mel Ott in a batting stance wearing a New York Giants uniform. It has a distinctive green border with a yellow inner frame. Text includes 'Baseball's All Time Greats' in a banner and his playing years (1926-1947) in an oval.
Notable Features
Hall of Fame player; released as a promotional set through CVS pharmacy; classic 1990s simplistic design.
Authentication Notes
Authentic. The card stock and print style are consistent with early 1990s Major League Marketing productions. There are no known counterfeits due to the low market value of the set.
