Description
Featured here is the 1991 Score 'Rifleman' sub-set card of Cleveland Indians star Sandy Alomar Jr. The card features a vibrant green 'starburst' background with Alomar in his full catcher's gear ready to make a throw. The bold 'RIFLEMAN' text runs vertically along the left side in yellow, with the classic red Score 91 logo in the upper right.
Key Features
Features the 1990 AL Rookie of the Year in an iconic early-90s 'junk wax' era design highlighting his defensive prowess. Popular among Cleveland baseball fans and player collectors.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. This card is from the high-production 'junk wax' era and is not a target for counterfeiting. Authentic indicators include the specific card stock thickness and the dot-matrix printing pattern typical of 1991 Score production.
Flaws to Note
Corners appear relatively sharp but the card is slightly off-center left-to-right. Junk wax era cards often suffer from surface scratches and minor white chipping on the edges which are visible upon close inspection under light.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold as part of a lot on eBay or Mercari, or available in 'dollar bins' at local card shows. High-end graded copies are occasionally moved on specialized FB groups for Cleveland collectors.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card unless it is for personal sentimental reasons; the cost of grading is higher than the card's resale value. List it as part of a '1990s Catcher Lot' or a Sandy Alomar player lot to maximize shipping efficiency and interest.
