Description
BID PER WHAT YOU SEE IN THE PHOTO, NOT THE AI GENERATED TITLES AND DESCRIPTIONS! A Collection of Baseball Trading Cards Including Major League Stars and Modern Prospects
A large collection of individual baseball trading cards spanning from the late 1980s through the late 2010s. The assortment is housed in a standard white cardboard storage box and features a variety of brands such as Topps, Upper Deck, Fleer, Metal Universe, and Pinnacle. The collection is organized by player using handwritten and typed dividers. Notable sections dedicated to Hall of Famers and star players include Ozzie Smith, Ryne Sandberg, John Smoltz, Jim Thome, and Bernie Williams. Modern players and prospects identified by dividers include Ketel Marte, Seth Beer, Hunter Bishop, Kevin Newman, Rougned Odor, Jorge Mateo, and Matt Moore.
Specifically identified cards within the lot include a 1992 Upper Deck Ryne Sandberg (number 40), a 1994 Upper Deck Hitting the Show Matt Williams insert (number HS6), an early 2000s Fleer Platinum John Smoltz, and a late 1990s Metal Universe Bernie Williams. The cards are individually protected in plastic top-loaders or semi-rigid holders. One holder is specifically labeled as containing a rookie card. The collection features a mix of base cards, parallels, and various insert sets.
Condition report:
The cards appear to be in excellent to near-mint condition, as they have been stored individually in protective plastic top-loaders. Visible examples, including the Ryne Sandberg and Matt Williams cards, show sharp corners and edges with factory-standard centering. The plastic protective holders exhibit some typical age-related scuffing and surface clouding, but the cards themselves remain well-preserved. None of the cards are professionally graded.
