Description
This 1991 Star Co. minor league card features Richard Falkner of the Kinston Indians (Cleveland Indians affiliate). The card features a vibrant red border with the 'STAR' logo in the upper right. The action shot shows Falkner in a batting stance. The bottom text identifies the player and his team/position in white block lettering.
Key Features
Early career minor league card; part of a localized team set; features the classic red-bordered Star Co. design used for minor league prospects in the early 90s.
Authenticity Indicators
Confidence: High. These cards were printed on standard mid-grade cardstock. This specific player and set are not targets for counterfeiting due to low market value. The matte finish and specific font for 'STAR' are consistent with 1991 production.
Flaws to Note
Red borders are notorious for showing 'white' chipping along the edges. Top-to-bottom centering appears slightly shifted. There is a potential minor print speck visible in the lower red margin near the name.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform, specifically using the 'Buy It Now' format. It would also fit well in a 'Common' bin at a local card show in Ohio or North Carolina.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card; the grading fees will far exceed the market value. List it as '1991 Star Kinston Indians Richard Falkner' and use a high-quality scan. Best sold as part of the complete team set if available.
