1992 Pinnacle Brian Hunter Baseball Card #129

This is a standard 2.5 by 3.5 inch trading card from the 1992 Pinnacle baseball series, featuring first baseman and outfielder Brian Hunter of the Atlanta Braves. The card design is characterized by its sleek, matte black borders which were a signature of the Pinnacle brand in the early 1990s, intended to give a more premium feel compared to competitors. The front shows an action shot of Hunter mid-swing, wearing the classic 1990s Braves home 'tomahawk' jersey. The manufacturing details include the white Pinnacle logo in the top left and the player identity bar at the bottom with high-contrast red and white text. Regarding physical condition, the card exhibits visible wear consistent with an ungraded item from this era; there is notable white chipping appearing along the sensitive black edges and corners, particularly on the top and left sides. The centering appears slightly biased toward the top. The surface seems to have some light scuffing or minor imperfections common for this card stock. Despite these flaws, the card retains good color saturation and represents the high-end photography style that the Pinnacle brand introduced to the sports card market during the 'junk wax' era peak.
