Mark Gubicza Autographed Trading Card (PSA/DNA Certified)

This item is a professionally graded and authenticated trading card featuring Mark Gubicza, a former professional baseball pitcher, with his autograph. The card is encased in a rigid, transparent plastic slab, typical for PSA (Professional Sports Authenticator) grading, which protects its integrity and displays the certification label prominently at the top. The label indicates 'TRADING CARD', the player's name 'MARK GUBICZA', and 'PSA/DNA CERTIFIED' for the autograph. It also clearly states 'AUTHENTIC AUTO' and bears the PSA certification number '85394482'. The trading card itself appears to be from a 'Metal Universe' series, as indicated by the 'METAL '99 UNIVERSE' logo visible at the bottom right. The card's design features Gubicza in a pitching motion, wearing a Kansas City Royals uniform, against a dynamic, almost iridescent blue and green background, suggesting a holographic or foil finish. His signature in blue ink is prominently placed over his body on the front of the card. The card appears to be in excellent condition, protected by the slab, with no visible wear, tears, or creasing on the card itself. The slab is clean and clear, showing no significant scratching or damage. This item represents a collectible from the late 1990s, likely 1999 given the '99' on the 'Metal Universe' logo. The professional grading and authentication by PSA/DNA add significant value and assurance to the autograph's authenticity. The unique metallic finish and artistic design are characteristic of trading cards from this era, aiming for a premium aesthetic.
