Collection of San Francisco Giants Baseball Cards

A selection of four professional baseball trading cards featuring San Francisco Giants players and staff. The grouping includes a 1990 Score Craig Lefferts card (#285) exhibiting a classic teal border design. The remaining three cards are from the 2012 Topps Emerald Parallel series, which are distinguished by a glossy finish and a specialized 'Emerald' foil stamp. This set includes Matt Cain, pitcher Brian Wilson in an orange jersey, and manager Bruce Bochy. The cards are standard 2.5 by 3.5 inches, printed on cardstock with varying degrees of UV coating. The 2012 cards feature high-action photography with vibrant color saturation, while the 1990 card shows the flatter, matte printing style of its era. Condition-wise, the cards appear to be housed in protective plastic sleeves which has preserved their corners and edges, though some minor surface scratches are visible on the plastic itself. There are no major creases or paper loss evident in the photograph. The cards represent two distinct eras of Giants baseball: the late 1980s transition and the championship era of the early 2010s. The 2012 Emerald parallels are short-print versions, typically found in retail packs, adding a small premium over standard base cards of the same year. Overall, the cards show good color retention and centering appears mostly standard for mass-produced trading cards of their respective decades.
