Description
Up for consideration is a 1990 Bowman Ken Howell baseball card, numbered 265. The card features a glossy finish with a classic colorful multi-line border surrounding a crisp action photo of Ken Howell in his Philadelphia Phillies red uniform, holding his glove. The bottom border displays his name and team in clean text, and the iconic vintage Bowman 'B' logo sits in the top left corner.
Key Features
Features the return-era Bowman glossy card stock style from 1990, capturing pitcher Ken Howell during his tenure with the Philadelphia Phillies.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence in authenticity. Card stock, printing dot patterns, and back/front coloring match standard 1990 Bowman production. Not a heavily counterfeited card due to low individual player demand.
Flaws to Note
Slight top-heavy centering border imbalance; minor potential corner wear on the top right corner typical of un-sleeved storage from the junk wax era.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
COMC, eBay (best sold as part of a set or team lot to maximize shipping efficiency over individual value)
Selling Tips
Due to low individual raw value, it is not economically viable to grade this specific card. Best sold raw in bulk, as part of a 1990 Bowman set, or as part of a Philadelphia Phillies team player lot. Ship securely in a penny sleeve and top loader if selling individually.
