Description
A classic 1989 Donruss Chris Bosio card featuring the Milwaukee Brewers pitcher in his iconic blue and yellow pinstripes and 'ball-in-glove' hat. The card utilizes the standard 1989 Donruss design with black side borders and colorful gradient top/bottom banners.
Key Features
Features the classic Milwaukee Brewers 'MB' logo and represents a dependable starter from the late 80s/early 90s known for tossing a no-hitter in 1993.
Authenticity Indicators
High Confidence. The card stock, dot-matrix printing pattern, and 1989-specific ink saturation are consistent with mass-produced cards of this era. This is not a commonly counterfeited card due to its high production volume.
Flaws to Note
Significant whitening on all four corners; heavy chipping along the left black border; visible surface scratches and 'pocking' across the player's face and jersey; top-to-bottom centering is slightly heavy at the bottom.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold as part of a bulk lot of Milwaukee Brewers cards or 1989 Donruss sets on eBay. Not worth a standalone listing unless bundled with others due to shipping costs.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card, as the grading fees ($20+) vastly outweigh the market value. If selling, use an eBay standard envelope for cheap shipping. Accurate keywords include 'Brewers Common', 'Junk Wax Era', and 'Vintage Donruss'.
