Key Features

Authenticity Indicators
Authenticity is High. This card is not known to be counterfeited as it was mass-produced in the millions; card stock and printing pattern are consistent with 1990 Donruss manufacturing.

Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold as part of a Chicago Cubs team lot or a complete 1990 Donruss set on eBay or at local card shows in bargain bins. Individual sale is not recommended due to shipping costs.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card, as the fees will far exceed the value. If selling, bundle it with other 1990s Cubs cards to maximize interest. Use 'PWE' (Plain White Envelope) shipping to keep costs low for buyers.
