Description
Featured here is a 2023 Donruss Baseball 'Bomb Squad' insert card of New York legend Darryl Strawberry. This card features a vibrant comic-book style aesthetic with 'explosion' graphics in orange, red, and yellow, perfectly capturing the power of one of the 80s most iconic sluggers. Strawberry is shown in his classic pinstripe uniform completing a powerful swing. The finish is a smooth semi-gloss typical of modern Donruss sets.
Key Features
Iconic player from the 1986 Mets; highly collectible 'Bomb Squad' insert theme which is popular among set builders; visual comic-style design appeals to both vintage and modern collectors.
Authenticity Indicators
Authenticity confidence: High. Features the standard Donruss 'D' logo stamp in the bottom left, correct typography for the 2023 set, and standard 35pt card stock thickness. This is a low-value modern insert and is not a known target for counterfeiting.
Flaws to Note
Potential minor edge wear/chipping on the rear side (common with Panini stock). A small white speck is visible on the top edge. High gloss surfaces are prone to micro-scratches from the manufacturing process.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (as a Buy It Now), COMC (Check Out My Cards) for long-term consignment, or as a bargain bin item at local card shows.
Selling Tips
Due to the low raw value, this card is best sold in a 'player lot' with other Strawberry cards or as part of a 'pick your card' listing to save on shipping. Use eBay Standard Envelope for cheap $1.00 tracked shipping. Grading is not recommended unless aiming for a PSA 10, as the cost of grading exceeds the value of a PSA 9.
