Description
A classic 1991 Donruss card featuring Mets catcher Charlie O'Brien in his home pinstripes. The card utilizes the iconic 1991 Donruss green border design with neon highlights and a player photo showing O'Brien from a rear hitting-stance perspective.
Key Features
Features the 90s neon-inspired Donruss border; shows O'Brien in the New York Mets pinstripes; includes the vintage Mets circular logo.
Authenticity Indicators
Genuine card stock; authentic semi-gloss finish; vintage 'Donruss 91' logo registered trademark symbols are present. High confidence (Card is not a target for counterfeiting due to 'junk wax era' mass production).
Flaws to Note
Heavy corner wear with exposed white cardstock; significant edge chipping along the green borders; severe centering issues (Top/Bottom heavy); possible surface scratches from being stored outside a protector.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold as part of a bulk Mets team lot or a complete 1991 Donruss set on eBay or at a garage sale. Single card listing would not be profitable due to shipping costs.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card; the grading fee would be many times higher than the value. List it as 'Common stock' or package it with other 1990s Mets cards in a 'Quarter Box' at a card show to move it.
