1987 Donruss Mike Scott Baseball Card #125

This is a standard 2.5 by 3.5 inch 1987 Donruss Mike Scott baseball card, depicting the Houston Astros pitcher in his iconic rainbow-sleeved blue jersey. The card features the signature 1987 Donruss design characterized by a solid black border which is notorious for showing edge wear and chipping. Above the player's action photo is the 'Donruss 87' logo in the upper left corner. The bottom of the card includes an aqua-colored nameplate strip featuring 'MIKE SCOTT P' in yellow text, adjacent to a circular Astros team logo. Regarding condition, the card shows significant visible wear which greatly impacts its collectible value. Notable issues include major chipping and whitening along the bottom edge, particularly at the left corner, and whitening at the top left corner. The black borders highlight these surface imperfections prominently. The centering appears slightly shifted toward the bottom. This mass-produced card from the 'Junk Wax' era of the late 1980s displays typical manufacturing quality for the period, utilizing standard cardstock. Mike Scott was a dominant pitcher in the mid-80s, winning the NL Cy Young award in 1986, making this a common but representative piece of sports memorabilia from that era.
