Demand Level

Description
This is the iconic 1990 Upper Deck David Justice Rookie Card. It features a high-definition (for the era) photograph of Justice in his classic Atlanta Braves home white jersey. The card utilizes the signature Upper Deck white border design with gold foil script for the player's name and a clean 'Upper Deck' logo across the top. Justice is shown in a candid pose with his batting helmet on, capturing his early-career energy.
Key Features
Official Rookie Card designation. Justice was the 1990 NL Rookie of the Year. This card is from the 'High Number' series (701-800) which was distributed later in the season, making it a staple of early 90s collecting.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. The card stock thickness is correct for 1990 Upper Deck 'cardboard-free' premium stock. The anti-counterfeit hologram on the reverse (not visible but inferred by set) is the primary indicator of authenticity for this era. Not a commonly faked card due to high production volume.
Flaws to Note
Visible centering issues (shifted left and down). There are small white 'snow' spots on the black background area to the right of the player which may be print defects or surface debris. Lower left corner shows a tiny bit of white 'touch' wear.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (as a Buy It Now or in a lot), COMC for long-term consignment, or local card show dollar boxes.
Selling Tips
Due to high production numbers, this card is only worth grading if it is a flawless PSA 10 candidate. For this specific copy, it is best sold 'raw' as part of a 1990 Braves team set or a 1990 Rookie lot. Use keywords like 'ROTY', 'Braves', and 'Star Rookie' in listings.
