Description

The design features a bright red border with multi-colored paint splatter accents along the sides. Robinson is pictured in his home white Reds jersey and cap against a clear blue sky background. The back features career statistics and player biographical information.
Key Features
Classic 'Junk Wax Era' design; features a member of the 1990 World Series Champion Cincinnati Reds.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence; authentic card stock and era-appropriate printing patterns. This card is not commonly counterfeited due to high production volume and low market value.
Flaws to Note
Obvious whitening and chipping on the top red edge and upper-left corner; visible surface scuffs; centering is poor, favoring the right and bottom borders.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold as part of a team set or bulk lot on eBay; local garage sales or flea markets. Individual sale is not recommended due to shipping costs exceeding card value.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card. To move it, bundle it with other 1990 Reds players like Barry Larkin or Eric Davis. Use a Plain White Envelope (PWE) with a Forever stamp to keep shipping costs low if selling online.
