Description
1990 Upper Deck Kevin Brown #322 features a dynamic action shot of the Texas Rangers pitcher on the mound. The card utilizes the classic 1990 Upper Deck design with white borders, a green inner frame, and the iconic hologram on the reverse. The front displays the '19 Upper Deck 90' logo in the top right and the Texas Rangers team logo in the bottom left.
Key Features
Kevin Brown was a dominant pitcher of the 1990s with over 200 wins and a World Series title. This is an early career card from Upper Deck's iconic second year of production, featuring their high-quality photography and anti-counterfeit hologram technology.
Authenticity Indicators
Upper Deck's proprietary diamond hologram on the reverse is the primary indicator. High-quality card stock and clear, crisp registration in the 'Rangers' logo and player name text. Confidence: High (rarely counterfeited due to high production volume).
Flaws to Note
Centering is heavy toward the bottom edge on the front. There is visible edge wear/chipping on the bottom-right green border area. Surface scratches are common on this high-gloss stock but difficult to see without a direct light source.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (as part of a team set or player lot), COMC, or local card shop 'bargain bins.' The card is not worth the fees of high-end auction houses.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card unless it is a guaranteed PSA 10 for a personal collection. Sell as part of a Texas Rangers team lot or a Kevin Brown player lot to maximize shipping efficiency via eBay Standard Envelope. Ensure photos show the reverse hologram to prove it is not a reprint.
