Description
A 1990 Donruss base card featuring New York Mets outfielder Kevin McReynolds in his batting stance wearing the classic pinstripe Mets home uniform. The card features the signature 1990 Donruss red border with black and orange paint splatter details.
Key Features
Classic 'Junk Wax' era design; highlights an All-Star outfielder for the Mets; red border design which is notoriously difficult to find in high grade due to chipping.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. This card is from the 'Junk Wax' era with no known counterfeits due to massive overproduction. Card stock and printing patterns are consistent with authentic 1990 Donruss releases.
Flaws to Note
Significant whitening on the corners, particularly the bottom left and top right. There is noticeable edge wear along the top border. The centering appears slightly shifted toward the top.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold as part of a bulk team lot (Mets) or set filler on eBay. Individual sale is not recommended as shipping costs will exceed the card's worth.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card. To maximize value, bundle it with other 1980s-90s Mets cards. Use 'eBay Standard Envelope' for cheap shipping if sold individually, though it remains a 'common' card unlikely to sell alone.
