Description
This 1990 Donruss Randy Velarde card features a full-color action photo of the Yankees infielder in his classic pinstripe uniform. The card sports the iconic 1990 Donruss bright red border with multi-colored paint splatter accents along the sides and the script name logo at the top.
Key Features
Features a popular New York Yankees utility player; part of the high-production 'Junk Wax' era of the early 90s.
Authenticity Indicators
Authenticity is high (confidence: 100%). This card is mass-produced and not a target for counterfeiting due to low market value and high supply. Card stock and ink patterns are consistent with late 80s/early 90s Donruss production.
Flaws to Note
Significant whitening on all four corners; edge chipping visible on the upper left; top-down centering is heavy toward the top; surface may have typical factory wax or print dot issues.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold as part of a lot on eBay, or placed in a 'bargain bin' at a local card show. Shipping as an individual card is rarely cost-effective.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card, as the grading fees are significantly higher than the card's worth. List it as part of a 1990 Donruss complete set or a New York Yankees player lot to maximize the chance of a sale. Use eBay Standard Envelope for cheap shipping if sold individually.
