Description
Attractive 1991 Post Cereal baseball card featuring New York Yankees slugger Kevin Maas. This card is part of a 30-card set distributed on cereal boxes and via mail-in sets. The design features a bold yellow border, a 'Rookie Star' banner across the top, and the classic Post logo. Maas is depicted in a portrait shot wearing his Yankees cap.
Key Features
Features the Post 'Rookie Star' banner which was a major hobby chase in the early 90s. Maas set a record for reaching 10, 13, and 15 home runs faster than any player in history at that time, making him an iconic figure of the 'Junk Wax' era.
Authenticity Indicators
Genuine card stock. The dot pattern in the printing (rosette) is consistent with 1991 production. The Post logo and MLBPA logo are sharp. High confidence: 100%. This card is rarely counterfeited due to low market value.
Flaws to Note
Minor chipping on the yellow borders (very common for this set). Slight corner softening on the bottom left. The card surface shows the typical matte finish of the Post set which is susceptible to finger oils.
