1991 Topps Curt Schilling #435 Baseball Card

This is a 1991 Topps baseball card featuring pitcher Curt Schilling during his tenure with the Baltimore Orioles. The card measures a standard 2.5 by 3.5 inches and is constructed from typical cardstock used during the early 1990s 'junk wax' era. The design features a white outer border with a multi-colored inner frame surrounding an action shot of Schilling in a mid-pitch follow-through on the mound. In the upper left corner, the 'Topps 40 Years of Baseball' logo is prominently displayed, commemorating the company's silver anniversary. The bottom of the card includes the 'Orioles' team logo and Schilling's name in a stylized banner. Condition-wise, the centering appears slightly biased towards the right and bottom edges. The corners show some minor soft rounding, particularly visible on the bottom right. The card is currently housed in a clear protective plastic sleeve or 'penny sleeve,' which has helped preserve the surface from significant scratching or staining, though the sleeve itself shows slight glares. This card is representative of 1991 mass-production printing, which often suffers from common centering and ink-density issues, but it remains a notable card for collectors of the legendary post-season pitcher's early career.
