Description
This 1990 Donruss Jim Abbott card features the inspirational California Angels pitcher in a classic follow-through pitching motion. The design is iconic for its bright red borders with black and yellow splatter paint effects. The top of the card features the Donruss '90 logo and Abbott's name in stylized script.
Key Features
Features Jim Abbott, one of the most inspirational figures in baseball history known for pitching a no-hitter despite being born without a right hand. Part of the massively produced 'Junk Wax' era sets.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence in authenticity. The card stock, printing dots, and specific 1990 Donruss color palette are consistent with originals. This specific card is not a target for counterfeiting due to its high print volume and low market value.
Flaws to Note
Significant structural damage is present. There is a severe horizontal crease/tear across the middle-left border into the image. The bottom border has lost substantial paper (paper loss) revealing the white card stock underneath. Significant edge wear and surface scratching are visible throughout.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold as part of a bulk 'junk wax' lot on eBay, at a local garage sale, or donated. The cost of individual shipping exceeds the value of the card in this condition.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card. The cost of the grading fee (approx. $20+) is significantly higher than the market value of the card. In its current damaged state, it is best kept as a personal memento or a 'filler' card in a team set.
