Authenticity Indicators
Standard card stock and printing style consistent with 1990 Bowman base cards. Not a heavily counterfeited card due to low overall monetary value. Confidence: High.

Selling Guide
Where to Sell
COMC, eBay (in lots), or local card shop bulk boxes. Selling individually is not recommended due to shipping and platform fees exceeding the card's value.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card, as grading fees will far outweigh the final value. Best sold as part of a larger 1990 Bowman set or a New York Mets player lot. Ship in a penny sleeve and top loader if selling individually.
