Satamiky Jans Appraisal

Vintage Cartoon Baseball Trading Card - 'Satamiky Jans' #312

This item is a vintage trading card, likely from the early 1990s given its style and the typical appearance of such cartoon-themed cards from that era. The card features a vibrant, full-color illustration of two cartoon characters, one resembling a baseball player/catcher (possibly a donkey or similar quadruped) and the other a feline character dressed in a striped shirt and pants, wearing a baseball glove. The color palette is bright and cheerful, dominated by yellow for the background, with green, brown, and black prominent in the characters. The card appears to be made of standard cardstock, with a visible white border surrounding the illustration, which in turn has a thin red inner border. Observable text includes '312' in the top right corner, likely indicating the card number in a series. Below this, the name '"Satamiky Jans"' is printed, which may be the character's name or a series title. The illustration also includes speech bubbles; the feline character says, 'RIGHT DOWN THE OLD GOOOVE, FATHER', while the other character remarks, 'I'VE HEARD OF GIANTS, BUT THIS IS THE FIRST MIDGET I'VE SEEN CATCHING...'. A notable feature is a small, diamond-shaped logo in the bottom right corner, suggesting a manufacturer or series branding. The card exhibits minor wear consistent with its age, such as slight edge wear or corner softening, though no major creases, tears, or significant discoloration are immediately visible from the provided image. The overall condition appears to be good to very good, with the colors still clear and unfaded. The craftsmanship aligns with mass-produced trading cards of the period, designed for collecting and amusement.
