Gerald Perry Card Appraisal

1989 Donruss Gerald Perry #174 Baseball Card

This is a standard 2.5 by 3.5-inch baseball trading card from the 1989 Donruss set, featuring first baseman Gerald Perry of the Atlanta Braves. The card design is characteristic of the 'Junk Wax' era, featuring a distinct vibrant orange and yellow gradient border at the top and bottom, with dark navy blue side borders framing a central action photograph. The photograph shows Perry in a defensive stance on the field, wearing the classic 1980s white Atlanta Braves home uniform with red and blue piping. Notable graphic elements include the 'Donruss 89' logo in the upper right corner and a 'National League' All-Star logo in the lower right, signifying his selection to the 1988 All-Star team. The player's name and position (1B) are printed in white within the top orange header. The card's material is standard gloss-coated cardstock. Regarding condition, the card is housed in a clear protective sleeve, which has preserved the surface gloss. The centering looks slightly heavy toward the right edge. The corners appear sharp from this perspective, and no significant creasing or surface wear is visible. As a common card from a high-production year, its value is primarily decorative or sentimental unless it achieves a perfect professional grade.
