Description
Offering a 1989 Bowman Baseball card featuring Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Bob Walk, card #280. The card showcases a classic glossy border design with a color photograph of Walk wearing his Pirates uniform and holding his glove. The top left corner features the retro Bowman 'B' logo, and the bottom border includes the player name and team.
Key Features
Part of the iconic 1989 Bowman set which marked the brand's revival after a long hiatus, featuring the distinctive glossy card stock and colorful border design of the late 80s.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence in authenticity. Standard 1989 Bowman card stock thickness, correct gloss finish, and accurate font and color registration. Not a heavily counterfeited card.
Flaws to Note
Slight top-to-bottom and left-to-right centering bias. Minor corner softness upon close inspection, typical of un-slabbed vintage mass-produced cards from the junk wax era.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay or COMC are best for low-value base cards from the 1980s, often best sold as part of a team lot or set to offset shipping costs.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card, as the grading cost far exceeds the potential value. Sell raw in a penny sleeve and top loader, or bundle with other 1989 Bowman Pirates cards.
