Dave Bergman Appraisal

Dave Bergman Baseball Card

The item is a vintage baseball trading card featuring player Dave Bergman. The card is oriented vertically and appears to be made of standard cardstock. The central image on the card depicts Dave Bergman, a left-handed batter, in a batting stance. He is wearing a grey uniform with what appears to be "DETROIT" visible across the chest, indicating he is playing for the Detroit Tigers. He has a dark-colored batting helmet, black batting gloves, and red wristbands on his forearm. His face is visible in profile, showing a mustache. To the right of the player image, there is a vertical green strip with a gold-colored textured band running through it, and the number '18' is printed near the top of this band. Near the bottom right of the player image, there is a circular logo featuring a baseball and what looks like a team insignia, possibly for the Detroit Tigers with 'TIGERS' and 'DETROIT' text (though this is somewhat obscured or pixelated). The player's name, 'Dave Bergman', is printed in black text centered at the bottom of the card. A small, dark green diamond with some lighter green detailing is located at the bottom left corner. The card is currently housed within a clear plastic trading card sleeve, which is part of a larger plastic binder sheet. The card itself shows good color saturation and appears to be in well-preserved condition for its age, with no immediately obvious creases, tears, or significant wear visible through the plastic sleeve. The edges and corners appear relatively sharp, suggesting it has been protected. This card likely dates from the late 1980s to early 1990s, consistent with Dave Bergman's playing career and the design aesthetics of baseball cards from that era.
