Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for high-population 1992 Donruss base cards generally fall into 'junk wax' pricing, often sold in lots. Individual sales rarely exceed $1.00 unless professionally graded as Gem Mint.
Condition Details
The card exhibits slightly off-center borders, leaning heavy towards the top and right side. Sharp corners are visible with minimal softening. Surfaces appear clean with no noticeable scratches or creases.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The player is a journeyman catcher and the card was mass-produced in the 'Junk Wax' era. The cost of shipping and grading far exceeds the potential market value, as the card is not a rookie or a high-demand error.
Card Description
Charlie O'Brien is shown in a batting follow-through pose wearing the New York Mets blue-and-orange pinstripe road uniform. The card lists his team (METS) and position (CATCHER). The 1992 Donruss design features a white outer border with a blue horizontal strip at the top and bottom of the inner frame.
Notable Features
None. This is a standard base card from a mass-produced set with no serial numbering or special inserts.
Authentication Notes
The card appears authentic to the 1992 Donruss set based on the specific blue-to-white gradient banners, font style for the nameplate, and matte card stock typical of early '90s Donruss products.
