Description
This 1990 Fleer Bo Jackson card features the dual-sport legend in his Kansas City Royals uniform, capturing his powerful follow-through after a swing. The card design is characteristic of the early 90s 'junk wax' era, with a white border and a simple name bar at the bottom. This particular copy has a noticeable corner crease on the bottom left.
Key Features
Features one of the most iconic athletes of all time during his prime years with the Kansas City Royals. While not a rookie card, Bo Jackson remains an extremely popular player for nostalgia-driven collectors.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence in authenticity. This card is from the high-production 'junk wax' era and is rarely counterfeited. The print dot pattern and card stock thickness are consistent with 1990 Fleer production.
Flaws to Note
Significant bottom-left corner fold/crease; chipping along the right-hand edge; surface wear and lack of gloss; centering is roughly 60/40 top-to-bottom.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold as part of a lot or at a local flea market/card show. On eBay, the shipping cost often exceeds the value of a single raw card in this condition unless sold via PWE (Plain White Envelope).
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card. The cost of the grading fee far exceeds the market value of the card in this condition. Use keywords like 'Vintage Royals' or 'Dual Sport Legend' in listings. Keep shipping costs low to attract buyers.
