Description
Featured in the iconic 1990 Donruss 'Red Border' design, this card shows Seattle Mariners pitcher Gene Harris in his road uniform. The card includes the classic black splatter paint effect on the side borders and the distinctive script-style font for the player's name.
Key Features
Classic 'Junk Wax' era design; Gene Harris was a notable middle reliever for several MLB teams including the Mariners and Padres.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence in authenticity. The matte card stock, specific red ink saturation, and dot-pattern printing are consistent with mass-produced 1990 Donruss issues. This card is not targeted by counterfeiters due to its high supply and low market value.
Flaws to Note
Visible vertical crease near the bottom center border; extreme surface scratching/scuffing on the left side of the player's face/neck; heavy chipping on the top and right edges; soft corners; surface wear throughout. The red borders of 1990 Donruss are notoriously prone to showing white chipping.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold as part of a bulk team lot (Seattle Mariners) on eBay, or donated. Individual sale is not recommended as shipping costs will exceed the card's value.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card. To maximize what little value exists, bundle it with other 1990s Mariners cards (Ken Griffey Jr, Edgar Martinez). Use 'PWE' (Plain White Envelope) shipping if selling individually to keep costs low for buyers.
