Description
A curated 20-card Boston Red Sox wall display featuring franchise legends. Includes a complete 5-card 2004 Upper Deck Baseball Heroes Ted Williams subset, multiple Roger Clemens Fleer inserts (1988/1990), Wade Boggs, David Ortiz (Goudey style), and early 2000s stars like Curt Schilling and Jason Varitek. Housed in a black wall-mountable display case with individual slots for top-loaded cards.
Key Features
Complete Ted Williams 'Baseball Heroes' insert run; includes Hall of Famers (Boggs, Seaver, Clemens); ready-to-hang decor for a Boston sports fan.
Authenticity Indicators
Cards show correct year-specific branding and trademark info. High confidence (99%) as these are standard non-counterfeited base and insert cards.
Flaws to Note
Most cards are from the 'Junk Wax' or 'Post-Junk' era (high production volume), limiting individual rarity. Case may have micro-scratches on the clear front.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Facebook Marketplace (Local Boston area), eBay (as a lot), or a local Sports Card Show.
Selling Tips
Market this as a 'Man Cave' or 'Gift for Dad' starter set. List the names of the Hall of Fame players in the title. If shipping, pack the case with bubble wrap inside and out to prevent cards from sliding and the acrylic from cracking.
