1989 90 Nba Hoops Sarunas Marciulionis Rookie Trading Card 159 Appraisal

1989-90 NBA Hoops Sarunas Marciulionis Rookie Trading Card #159

The item is a 1989-90 NBA Hoops basketball trading card featuring Sarunas Marciulionis as a rookie with the Golden State Warriors. The card is displayed within a clear, nine-pocket plastic protective page, commonly used by collectors to store and protect trading cards. This particular card shows Marciulionis in his Warriors uniform, number 13, in what appears to be a shooting pose, with his arms extended upwards. The background of the image is dark. The card's design includes a silver-grey border with his name 'SARUNAS MARCIULIONIS' and his position 'Guard' printed at the top left. A prominent 'ROOKIE' designation, represented by a yellow star with red and blue accents, is located at the top right, signifying his inaugural professional season. The bottom border of the card is a golden-yellow hue, bearing the 'NBA HOOPS' logo. To the left and right of the player image, within the silver-grey border, are circular Golden State Warriors logos, featuring a basketball and 'GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS' text in a circular emblem. Observable condition notes suggest the card is generally well-preserved, likely due to its storage in the protective sleeve. There are no immediate visible creases, major surface abrasions, or corner wear identifiable from the image, indicating good to very good condition for a vintage card. The colors appear vibrant and the print quality is consistent with mass-produced trading cards of the era. The presence of other cards in the binder (e.g., Mitch Richmond visible below, and a Detroit Pistons card above) suggests it's part of a larger collection. Without examining the reverse or removing it from the sleeve, further details regarding potential factory defects or minor wear are difficult to ascertain. However, its presentation in a collector's album points to care in handling.
