Key Features
The card features the highly collectible first-year Vancouver Grizzlies expansion jersey. Fleer Metal is known for its unique industrial/etched design which was revolutionary for the mid-90s.
Authenticity Indicators
Authenticity confidence: High. The etched texture of the 'Metal' logo and the thickness of the card stock are consistent with genuine 1995 Fleer production. This card is not commonly counterfeited.
Flaws to Note
Significant white chipping on the bottom right corner and right edge. The top right corner shows softening. Fleer Metal cards are prone to surface scratches and edge chipping due to the metallic foil coating.
Selling Guide

Selling Tips
Do not grade this card; the grading fees will far exceed the card's market value. Best sold as part of a 1995-96 Grizzlies team set or a larger lot of 90s basketball cards to maximize shipping efficiency.
