Description
A 1990 Donruss Francisco Cabrera baseball card featuring the classic bright red border design with black paint splatter accents. Cabrera is pictured in his Atlanta Braves uniform and cap. The set is known for its high production volume and iconic early 90s aesthetic.
Key Features
Features Atlanta Braves cult hero Francisco Cabrera, famous for his walk-off hit in the 1992 NLCS. Classic 'junk wax' era design.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. This card belongs to the mass-produced 'junk wax' era; there are no known counterfeits due to the extremely high supply and low individual value. Card stock and printing patterns are consistent with 1990 Donruss production.
Flaws to Note
Obvious top-to-bottom centering issues (bottom border is much thicker). Softening on all four corners with visible white cardstock showing. Minor surface scratches and edge wear along the sensitive red borders.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Most effectively sold as part of a bulk team set or large lot on eBay. Individual sale is not recommended as shipping costs will exceed the card's market value.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card, as the fees will far outweigh the return. Best used as a 'throw-in' for larger trades or sold in a 25-cent bin at a local card show. If listing, use 'Atlanta Braves' and '1990 Donruss' as primary keywords.
