Description
A classic 1990 Donruss baseball card featuring Toronto Blue Jays second baseman Nelson Liriano. The card features the era-specific bright red border with black splatter paint accents. Liriano is pictured in his home blue jersey and cap during a pre-game warmup. The reverse side (not shown) contains his career statistics and personal vitals.
Key Features
Classic 'Junk Wax' era design; full Toronto Blue Jays branding; affordable career-era card for team set collectors.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. Card stock is standard brown/grey wood pulp typical of 1990 Donruss. Printing patterns and logo fonts match known authentic copies. This card is not commonly counterfeited due to high production volume and low market value.
Flaws to Note
Significant edge wear along the top and right sides; soft corners; surface wear on the red ink which is prone to showing 'snow' or chipping; centering appears slightly shifted toward the top.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best suited for bulk sales, local card shop discount bins, or as part of a complete 1990 Donruss set on eBay. Individual listing is not commercially viable due to shipping costs.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card; the cost of grading is significantly higher than the market value of the card even in a high grade. If selling, bundle it with other 1990s Toronto Blue Jays players to increase appeal. Use 'Plain White Envelope' (PWE) shipping to keep costs low.
