Key Features
Hall of Fame player, iconic mid-90s insert design, high-gloss finish typical of Fleer Ultra series.
Authenticity Indicators
Genuine Fleer Ultra card stock and gold foil stamping. Not a commonly counterfeited card due to lower market value of base inserts from this era. Confidence: High.
Flaws to Note
Corners show minor wear/whitening. Fleer Ultra cards from this era often suffer from 'bricking' (sticking together) which causes surface peeling when separated. Silvering/chipping on edges is common.

Selling Tips
