Vince Coleman Card Appraisal

1989 Donruss Vince Coleman Baseball Card #123

This is a standard 2.5 by 3.5 inch trading card featuring St. Louis Cardinals left fielder Vince Coleman from the 1989 Donruss baseball set. The card's aesthetic is defined by the 1989 Donruss design, which includes a distinct orange-to-yellow gradient border on the top and bottom, contrasted with blue vertical borders on the sides. The player is depicted in a batting stance wearing the classic Cardinals white away uniform with a red helmet. The top left corner features the player's name in white sans-serif font, while the top right displays the 'Donruss 89' logo. A 'National League' All-Star shield is positioned in the bottom right corner of the primary image. The card is currently housed in a clear protective plastic sleeve (penny sleeve) and displayed on a small wooden easel. From a condition standpoint, the card appears to have reasonably sharp corners and decent centering, though the right border appears slightly narrower than the left. There is no visible scuffing or surface creasing through the protective sleeve. This card represents a mass-produced 'junk wax era' collectible from the late 1980s, highlighting a player known for his prolific base-stealing abilities.
