Description
Standard 1990 Topps baseball card featuring Wallace Johnson of the Montreal Expos in his batting stance wearing the classic powder blue road uniform. The card features the iconic multi-colored 1990 border design with blue, pink, and white speckled accents.
Key Features
Classic early 90s junk-wax era design. Features a steady MLB veteran known for his pinch-hitting prowess with the Expos.

Authentic. The card stock shows correct wood-pulp brownish tint on the edges, correct 1990 Topps gloss, and printing dot patterns consistent with original mass production. Not a target for counterfeiting. Confidence: High.
Flaws to Note
Significant left-to-right centering bias. Softening on the top-left and bottom-left corners. Visible white edge wear along the bottom blue printed edge. Typical of the high-volume production issues of this era.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold as part of a bulk team set or large lot on eBay. Individual sale is not recommended as shipping costs exceed market value. Local card shop 'bargain bins'.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card. To maximize value, bundle it with other Montreal Expos cards from the same era or use it as a 'filler' to complete a 1990 Topps set. Include keywords like 'Montreal Expos' and 'Junk Wax' in listings.
