Houston Astros Rookie Card Appraisal

Alex Trevino Baseball Card (Houston Astros)

The item is a vintage baseball trading card featuring player Alex Trevino. The card appears to be from the 1980s or early 1990s, given the style of the card design and the visible 'C' in the upper right corner, which is characteristic of some Topps or Upper Deck sets from that era. Alex Trevino is depicted in a dynamic action shot, running on a dirt baseball field, wearing a white or cream-colored Houston Astros uniform with distinctive orange and rainbow-striped sleeves. His batting helmet is dark, likely black or navy. The photo quality appears to be standard for trading cards of that period, with a slight graininess. The card itself has a clean white border framing the image, which then transitions into a green border on the right side of the card, next to Alex Trevino's image, and possibly on the left as well, though it's partially obscured. At the bottom right of the image, the Houston Astros team logo is prominently displayed within a circular orange and white emblem. This logo features a white star and the word 'Astros' stylized over it, all set on an orange background. Below the image, the player's name, 'Alex Trevino', is clearly printed in black lettering. In the bottom left corner, there's a small diamond-shaped logo, which is often a manufacturer's mark or series identifier, though not fully discernible from the image. The card is currently housed in a transparent plastic page binder, commonly used for card collection and protection. The visible edges of the card appear relatively sharp, suggesting good preservation, but without closer inspection for corner wear or surface scratches, a definitive condition assessment is challenging. The card's presentation within the binder indicates it has been part of a collector's album.
