Description
A classic 1990 Donruss Pete Harnisch baseball card featuring the Baltimore Orioles pitcher in his follow-through delivery. The card features the era's signature bright red borders with black and orange splatter graphics on the side rails. The top includes the 'Donruss 90' logo and the player's name in stylized script.
Key Features
Features an All-Star pitcher from the early 90s; iconic 'junk wax' era design; Baltimore Orioles team affiliation.
Authenticity Indicators
Authentic. The card stock depth, unique 1990 Donruss red ink saturation, and splatter patterns are consistent with original production. Confidence: High. (Not a card typically targeted for counterfeiting due to mass production).
Flaws to Note
Significant whitening and wear on all corners; noticeable edge chipping on the left side; horizontal centering is poor (shifted right); visible surface wear and lack of gloss typical of heavily handled 1990 Donruss stock.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold as part of a bulk Baltimore Orioles team set, a 1990 Donruss complete set, or in a 'quarter box' at a local card show. Not recommended for individual online sale due to shipping costs exceeding market value.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card, as the cost of grading ($15+) far exceeds its market value ($0.05). If selling, bundle it with other 1980s-90s Orioles cards to appeal to team collectors.
