Key Features
Features the 1986 NL Cy Young winner in the classic Houston Astros rainbow uniform; part of the inaugural year of the modern Bowman revival.
Authenticity Indicators
Correct card stock thickness for 1989 Bowman (oversized 3-1/8" x 5-1/4" format); high confidence in authenticity as this is not a 'high-value' target for counterfeiting.
Flaws to Note
Significant 'chewed' or rough edge wear on the bottom center; heavily soft corners; visible surface scuffs; left-to-right centering is slightly off. The bottom edge damage is a major defect.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold as part of a lot on eBay or in a 'quarter box' at a local card show. Shipping costs generally exceed the value of the card alone.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card. The damage to the bottom border makes the cost of grading significantly higher than the card's potential value. Use as a 'filler' card or donate to a young collector.
