Description
This is a 2018 Donruss Optic Elite Series Career Best insert card featuring New York Yankees legend Don Mattingly. The card has a vibrant green cracked ice refractor background with a striking action photo of Mattingly batting in his pinstripes. It prominently displays Career Best 53 Doubles 1986 on the front alongside the Elite Series logo.
Key Features
Popular insert subset from Donruss Optic, beautiful green parallel refractive finish, features Yankees icon and fan favorite Don Mattingly commemorating his peak 1986 season.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. Correct Optic chromium card stock thickness, crisp font rendering, official Panini Elite logo, and authentic refractor sheen.
Flaws to Note
Card appears to be well-centered with sharp corners, stored in a binder page which is safe, though minor surface scuffs on the plastic sleeve rather than the card itself cannot be fully ruled out without removal.
