Description
This is a 2023 Donruss 'Bomb Squad' insert featuring future Hall of Famer Albert Pujols. The card features a vibrant, comic-book style 'pop art' background with yellow and orange explosion graphics and 'BOMB SQUAD' text in a stylized bubble font. Pujols is depicted in his classic St. Louis Cardinals home white uniform following through on a home run swing.
Key Features
Features legendary slugger Albert Pujols; popular 'Bomb Squad' insert theme which celebrates the league's top power hitters; modern comic-style aesthetic that appeals to younger collectors.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence; features standard Panini card stock thickness, crisp printing of the 'Bomb Squad' logo, and correct semi-gloss finish. This specific insert is not widely counterfeited due to its low market value.
Flaws to Note
Slight bottom-heavy centering on the front. Card is 'unlicensed' by MLB, meaning no team logos appear on the jersey or helmet (standard for Panini baseball products).
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
