Description
Featured is a 1990 Donruss card of Chicago White Sox center fielder Lance 'One Dog' Johnson. This iconic 90s design features a bright red border with black and yellow paint-splatter accents on the sides. Johnson is pictured in his batting stance wearing the classic White Sox road grey uniform.
Key Features
Features a solid MLB veteran with a 14-season career; classic 'Junk Wax Era' design; affordable for White Sox team set collectors.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. This card is from a mass-produced era with millions of copies printed; there are no known counterfeits because the cost to forge exceeds the market value.
Flaws to Note
Visible softening on the bottom-right and bottom-left corners. The centering is shifted towards the top border. Typical 1990 Donruss issues include chipping on the red edges and potential ink bleed.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (as part of a team lot), COMC, or a local card shop's 10-cent bin. It is not recommended to sell this individually due to shipping costs.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card. The grading fee (minimum $19+) is significantly higher than the potential resale value of the card. Best sold in a 'White Sox Star Lot' along with Frank Thomas or Ozzie Guillen cards to attract team collectors.
