Description
A classic 1989 Topps base card featuring Seattle Mariners infielder Domingo Ramos. The design features the iconic block 'MARINERS' text in yellow at the top and the player name diagonal in a blue bar at the bottom right. Ramos is shown in a crouched fielding position wearing the vintage blue and yellow Mariners pullover jersey.
Key Features
Features the popular 1989 Topps 'Junk Wax' era design; representative of the late-80s Seattle Mariners aesthetic.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. This is an original 1989 print with standard cardboard stock and period-accurate color saturation. This card is not targeted by counterfeiters due to its high supply and low market value.
Flaws to Note
Significant centering issues (oc); the image is shifted toward the top and left. Notable corner wear on the bottom right and minor surface flecks. General 'junk wax' era overproduction affects value.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold as part of a bulk lot of 1989 Topps or a Seattle Mariners team set on eBay. Individual sale is not cost-effective due to shipping fees exceeding card value.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card, as the cost of grading ($19+) far exceeds the market value. List in a 'pick your card' style eBay listing or include it in a Mariners fan bundle. Use '1989 Topps Domingo Ramos #638 Mariners' as the title.
