Description
This 1986 Fleer Star Sticker features St. Louis Cardinals speedster Vince Coleman in his iconic red pullyover jersey. The card features a maroon border with a yellow banner at the top labeled 'STAR STICKER' and a yellow nameplate at the bottom. These stickers were originally released as inserts in Fleer wax packs and are known for their sensitive colored borders that show wear easily.
Key Features
Early career card of the 1980s stolen base king; unique sticker-back design; vintage 1986 Fleer aesthetic; the maroon borders are difficult to find in high grade due to chipping.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. The dot-matrix printing pattern in the red jersey and the specific typeface used by Fleer in 1986 are consistent with authentic production. The card stock shows the correct age-appropriate porousness.
Flaws to Note
Significant right-side centering bias; soft corner wear on a few edges; minor surface debris visible on the penny sleeve may hide light surface scratches; common edge chipping on dark borders.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform for this card, likely as a 'Buy It Now' listing. It could also be sold as part of a Cardinals team lot or a 1986 Fleer set filler lot.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card; the cost of grading ($19+) far exceeds the market value of a mid-grade example. Use '1986 Fleer Sticker Vince Coleman Cardinals' in the title. Ship in a cardboard-protected envelope (eBay Standard Envelope) to keep costs low for the buyer.
