Description
1990 Star Co. minor league card featuring pitcher William Love of the Madison Muskies (Oakland Athletics affiliate). The card features a bright yellow border with green 'STAR' branding and typography. Love is pictured in a classic green and yellow Madison Muskies uniform holding a bat, despite being listed as a pitcher.
Key Features
Minor league vintage from the Star Co. era; features the iconic Madison Muskies branding, which is popular among minor league logo enthusiasts and Oakland A's completionist collectors.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. Star Co. cards from this era used a specific thin semi-gloss cardstock with distinct green ink saturation. These are rarely counterfeited due to the low market value of the individual subject.
Flaws to Note
Significant top-to-bottom centering issues (bottom border is much thicker than the top); slight soft corner on the bottom right; possible minor edge wear visible against the yellow border.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform, specifically listing it as part of a 'Madison Muskies' team lot or as a 'Buy It Now' with 'Or Best Offer' enabled to attract set builders.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card; the cost of grading ($19+) significantly outweighs the market value. Use high-resolution scans to show the centering. Mention 'Oakland Athletics Affiliate' in the title to capture crossover MLB interest.
