The halftone printing dots in the photo and the specific red ink saturation are consistent with genuine 1990 Donruss production. This card is not targeted for counterfeiting due to its high supply.

Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold as part of a bulk St. Louis Cardinals team lot or a 1990 Donruss complete set on eBay. Individual sale is not recommended due to shipping costs outweighing the card value.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card, as the grading fee (approx. $20+) is significantly higher than the card's worth. Use it to complete a set or include it in a 'box break' lot. If selling online, use 'eBay Standard Envelope' for cheap shipping.
