Description
This 1991 Donruss Randy Johnson highlights card commemorates his no-hitter against the Detroit Tigers. The card features the 'Big Unit' in his Seattle Mariners road grey uniform in a pitching follow-through. It uses the iconic 1991 Donruss blue border design with the 'Highlights' logo in the bottom left corner.
Key Features
Features Hall of Fame pitcher Randy Johnson; commemorates a historic career milestone (first career no-hitter); iconic early 90s 'junk wax' era design.
Authenticity Indicators
Authenticity confidence: High. This card is from the 'Junk Wax' era where production numbers were in the millions, making counterfeiting unprofitable. Includes correct 1991 Donruss logo typeface and paper stock.
Flaws to Note
Vertical centering is noticeably off (weighted toward the bottom). Blue borders from this set are notorious for showing 'chipping' or white flecks on the edges and corners. Minor surface wear is likely from being stored in a non-acid-free binder page.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold as part of a Seattle Mariners team lot or a Randy Johnson player lot on eBay or Mercari. Moving this as a single card is difficult unless it is PSA 10 quality.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card unless you are certain it is a flawless PSA 10. For raw sales, include 'No-Hitter' and 'Mariners' in the title. Best sold in bulk with other 90s stars to save on shipping costs.
