Andre Dawson Mvp Bc 11 Appraisal

1989 Donruss Baseball Card: Andre Dawson MVP BC-11

This is a standard 2.5-by-3.5-inch trading card featuring National Baseball Hall of Fame player Andre Dawson in his Chicago Cubs uniform. Published by Donruss in 1989 as part of their 'MVP' subset, the card utilizes a vibrant purple, black, and white border design characteristic of the late 1980s 'Junk Wax' era. The central image is a high-gloss color photograph of Dawson wearing a blue Cubs batting helmet and jersey, positioned against a stylized multi-colored 'MVP' sunburst background. The card is printed on semi-glossy cardstock. Visible physical details include the Donruss 89 logo in the top right corner and Dawson's name and position (OF) at the top left. In terms of condition, the card appears to be in raw, unposted state. The top edge shows some minor roughness likely from the original factory cutting process. The corners show very slight softening, particularly the bottom right, and there is light surface wear visible on the dark purple borders. The centering of the image within the frame appears slightly shifted toward the top edge. As a product of a high-volume manufacturing period, this card is common but remains a nostalgic piece of sports memorabilia representing a legendary player during his tenure with the Cubs.
