Cecil Fielder Card Appraisal

1991 Pinnacle Cecil Fielder Baseball Card

This item is a 1991 Pinnacle baseball trading card featuring Cecil Fielder, a prominent first baseman for the Detroit Tigers. The card is rectangular, made of cardstock, and features a glossy finish on the front. Its dimensions appear to be standard for a baseball card of its era, approximately 2.5 inches by 3.5 inches. The front of the card has a black border framing a central image of Cecil Fielder in his Detroit Tigers uniform, holding a baseball bat and looking toward his right. His uniform is grey with 'DETROIT' visible across the chest, and features orange and blue accents on the sleeves. He is also wearing orange batting gloves and an orange wristband. The background of the image is slightly blurred, suggesting a baseball field setting. Key identifying features include the 'Pinnacle' logo in the top right corner of the black border, signifying the card manufacturer. Below the logo, 'FIRST BASE' is printed, indicating Fielder's playing position. At the bottom of the card, an orange band contains 'CECIL FIELDER' (the player's name) in white text, and directly below that, 'TIGERS™' (the team name) is also in white text against a black background. The edges of the card appear crisp, and there are no visible creases, tears, or significant surface abrasions, suggesting it is in very good to excellent condition. There is no visible wear on the corners, which is a common area for condition issues on trading cards. The card's aesthetic aligns with the design trends of early 1990s sports trading cards, characterized by photographic images and bold player/team identification. The overall craftsmanship appears standard for mass-produced trading cards of this period, with good print quality and clear image resolution.
