Key Features
Part of the iconic 1987 Fleer set, known for its distinctive light blue borders. Bruce Hurst was a key starting pitcher for the Boston Red Sox, famously nearly winning Game 6 of the 1986 World Series.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. Standard 1987 Fleer card stock, correct font types, official Fleer copyright on the back, and standard gloss finish. Not a high-profile target for counterfeiting.
Flaws to Note
Slight right-heavy centering on the front border which is common for 1987 Fleer production quality. Minor corner softening possible upon closer macro inspection.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell

Selling Tips
Due to low individual value, it is not economically viable to grade this specific card unless part of a bulk submission. Best sold raw as part of a complete set or Boston Red Sox team lot.
