Description
Featured is the 1992 Fleer Ultra Rookie card for Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Eric Karros. This card captures Karros in a full swing follow-through in his home Dodgers uniform. The '92 Ultra design features a full-bleed photo with a gold '92 Fleer Ultra Rookie' banner in the top left. The bottom contains a sleek nameplate and position/team bar. This high-gloss card was a premium offering during the early 90s.
Key Features

High confidence. This card is from the 'Junk Wax' era and was mass-produced; counterfeits are virtually non-existent for this specific player/set. Genuine card stock feels thick and has a smooth, glass-like gloss.
Flaws to Note
Significant corner wear on the top right corner. Minor white chipping along the far left edge. High-gloss surface is prone to fingerprinting and fine scratches.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (as a 'Buy It Now' or in a lot), COMC for long-term consignment, or a local card shop's bargain bin.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card unless it is a guaranteed PSA 10, as the grading fee ($19+) exceeds the value of a PSA 7 or 8. If selling, group it with other 1992 Dodgers or other Eric Karros cards to save on shipping and increase buyer interest.
