Description
This 1990 Donruss Jose Canseco card features the Oakland Athletics slugger in his iconic yellow and green jersey, part of the 'Bash Brothers' era. The card features the bold red border design characteristic of the 1990 Donruss set, with splatter-paint style side accents and script-style name font. The reverse includes full career statistics and biographical information.
Key Features
Features an 80s/90s icon during his physical prime with the Oakland Athletics; iconic 'red border' design synonymous with the junk wax era.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. This card is not regularly counterfeited due to high production volume. Genuine indicators include the specific paper stock texture and the 'Donruss 90' logo resolution.
Flaws to Note
Lower right corner shows a tiny bit of white (softening); left-to-right centering is slightly off (roughly 60/40); possible chipping on the red border which is very common for this set.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold in a lot on eBay or Mercari, or as a filler card at a local card show. Shipping as a single 'raw' card is often not cost-effective due to postage exceeding the card's value.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card unless it is a guaranteed PSA 10, as grading fees ($15-25+) will far exceed the market value of a PSA 8 or 9. List as part of a 1990s superstar lot to maximize interest. Use 'eBay Standard Envelope' for low-cost shipping.
