1994 Upper Deck Top Prospects Jose Silva (#46)

This is a 1994 Upper Deck Top Prospects baseball card featuring pitcher Jose Silva of the Toronto Blue Jays. The card measures standard 2.5 by 3.5 inches and is constructed from a glossy, premium cardstock characteristic of the mid-1990s Upper Deck sets. This specific card represents the 'P' position for Jose Silva with a vertically printed name banner on the right side. The design features a full-bleed action photograph of Silva in his Blue Jays uniform mid-pitch, set against a shimmering, light-blue textured background. The Upper Deck logo is holographic and situated in the top-left corner. Condition-wise, the card shows significant surface wear, characterized by a visible scuff or crease mark running through the player's chest and shoulder area. The corners appear somewhat soft, and there is a noticeable glare on the UV coating indicating handled storage rather than protective casing. This card is part of the 1994 release, a period known for high production volumes. The craftsmanship of Upper Deck at this time was considered high-end for the hobby, utilizing advanced printing techniques to produce the metallic, textured finish seen on the upper half of the card face.
