A classic 1990 Donruss baseball card featuring Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder R.J. Reynolds in a batting stance. The card features the iconic bright red border with black and orange 'paint splatter' accents characteristic of the 1990 set. The player name is written in a stylized script on the left side.
Key Features
Includes the 1990 Donruss design, which is highly recognizable among 'Junk Wax' era collectors; features a solid MLB veteran in his Pirates uniform.

Authenticity is high (99%+). This card is not commonly counterfeited due to its low market value and mass production during the early 1990s.

Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold as part of a complete 1990 Donruss set or in a Pittsburgh Pirates team lot on eBay. Not worth selling as a single due to shipping costs exceeding card value.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card, as the grading fee will be significantly higher than the card's value. List as part of a 'lot' of Pirates cards or 1990s commons to save on shipping and increase interest.
