Description
Up for consideration is a 1990 Bowman baseball card featuring St. Louis Cardinals speedster Vince Coleman, card number 382. The front features a vibrant color photograph of Coleman smiling in his red Cardinals pre-game top and cap, bordered by a distinctive multi-colored rainbow line frame. The team and player name 'CARDINALS VINCENZO COLEMAN' (or Vince Coleman) is printed at the bottom inside the border, with the iconic Bowman 'B' logo in the upper left corner. A classic early-90s vintage find for set builders and Cardinals fans alike.
Key Features
Part of the iconic 1990 Bowman revival set known for its colorful borders and high gloss; features Vince Coleman during his prime base-stealing years with the St. Louis Cardinals.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence in authenticity. Standard 1990 Bowman card stock, correct font types, official Bowman logo in top left, and standard card dimensions. This card is rarely counterfeited due to low market value.
Flaws to Note
Slight right-heavy centering on the front, minor corner wear on the bottom right tip, and typical rough-cut or slightly chipped edges common with 1990 Bowman paper stock.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
COMC, eBay (best sold as part of a lot or set rather than individually due to low single-card value), or local card shop bulk boxes.
Selling Tips
Not economically viable to grade professionally since grading costs exceed the value of the card. Best sold raw as part of a complete set, team lot, or bulk listing with protective penny sleeve and top loader inside a standard PWE (Plain White Envelope) or bubble mailer.
