1994 Pinnacle 374 Appraisal

1994 Pinnacle Jose Bautista Chicago Cubs Baseball Card #374

This is a 1994 pinnacle baseball card featuring Jose Bautista (pitcher) of the Chicago Cubs. The card is standard size (2.5 by 3.5 inches) and features the high-gloss finish characteristic of the 'ultra-premium' 1990s trading card era. The design features a full-bleed action photo of Bautista in mid-pitch, wearing the Cubs' road grey jersey. Notable markings include the gold foil Pinnacle pyramid logo in the upper right corner and the player name bar at the bottom with the circular 'Cubs' insignia. In terms of condition, the card is currently housed in a clear plastic binder sleeve. The centering appears slightly heavy toward the right edge. The top edge shows some minor white 'chipping' or cardboard fraying common to full-color bleed cards of this age. The glossy surface appears relatively free of major scratches, though some light surface wear may be present from friction within the sleeve. The corners seem relatively sharp, though the bottom left corner may have a minute point touch of wear. This card is a product of Score/Pinnacle Brands, Inc. from the mid-90s, an era known for high production volume but significant improvements in photography and card stock quality compared to the 1980s.
