Demand Level
Low. This card is from the peak of the overproduction era. While Danny Jackson was a solid pitcher, he is not a Hall of Famer, and base cards from this set are extremely common.
Valuation
Raw (Ungraded) Value
$0.10 - $0.50
Graded Value
PSA 8: $5.00 - $10.00, PSA 9: $15.00 - $25.00, PSA 10: $45.00 - $65.00
Comparable Sales
Raw copies typically sell for $0.25 in local shops or as part of large bulk lots for less than $0.01 per card. PSA 10 examples occasionally sell for $40-60 to set registry collectors, but there is very little volume for mid-grade encapsulated copies.
Description
This is a base card of Danny Jackson from the 1991 Donruss set. The design features a bold blue border with colorful neon geometric accents in red, yellow, and light blue. Jackson is pictured in his Cincinnati Reds uniform in a high-leg-kick pitching motion. The classic Reds 'wishbone C' logo is prominently displayed in the bottom left corner.
Key Features
Features a 2x All-Star and 2x World Series Champion; iconic 'Junk Wax' era design; highly recognizable blue borders that are difficult to find in Gem Mint condition due to chipping.
Authenticity Indicators
Authenticity confidence: High. The card shows correct dot-matrix printing patterns, correct paper stock thickness, and the standard 'Donruss 91' holographic/foil logo treatment. This card is not worth counterfeiting due to high availability.
Flaws to Note
Minor chipping on the sensitive blue borders, slight right-heavy centering on the front, and minor whitening on the rear corners. These are standard production issues for the 1991 Donruss set.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold as part of a team set or bulk lot on eBay. Not cost-effective to sell individually unless in a PSA 10 slab. Could be used in person-to-person trading or 'dime boxes' at local card shows.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card unless you are certain it is a flawless PSA 10, as grading fees will exceed the card's value. List as part of a 'Cincinnati Reds Team Lot' to maximize interest from team collectors.
