Description
This 1992 Fleer Ultra Brook Jacoby card features a crisp action shot of the Cleveland Indians third baseman in his home white uniform. The Ultra set was Fleer's premium brand, known for its high-gloss finish, marbled bottom border, and gold foil stamping in the upper left corner. The card captures Jacoby in a defensive stance on the dirt, set against a vibrant blue outfield wall.
Key Features
Premium 1990s 'super-premium' design; iconic gold foil '92 Ultra logo; early high-gloss card technology; featuring a 2-time All-Star.
Authenticity Indicators
Authentic. Features the correct 1992 Ultra gold foil stamp with reflective properties and high-gloss UV coating. This specific card is not a target for counterfeiting due to high production volume and low market value.
Flaws to Note
Visible corner wear on the top right; minor surface scuffs due to lack of protective sleeve; left-to-right centering is slightly biased; potential 'bricking' or surface peeling common with early Ultra gloss if stored in humidity.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (as part of a team lot or set filler), COMC (Check Out My Cards) for long-term inventory, or local card shop 'dollar' bins.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card, as the fees ($15+) will be significantly higher than the card's value. Best sold as part of a 'Cleveland Indians 90s Heritage' lot or a Brook Jacoby player lot to maximize shipping efficiency. If listing individually, use 'PWE' (Plain White Envelope) shipping to keep costs low for the buyer.
