Demand Level
Low. While Steve Sax was a popular player, this is a high-volume base card from the early 'junk wax' era with significant condition issues.
Valuation
Raw (Ungraded) Value
$0.10 - $0.50
Graded Value
PSA 4: $5-8, PSA 5: $10-12, PSA 3: $2-4. Grading cost far exceeds potential market value.
Comparable Sales
Raw copies in similar or better condition typically sell for under $1.00. PSA 9 examples of this card recently sold for $20-30, but this specific card would not achieve that grade due to centering and edge wear.
Description
This 1984 Fleer Steve Sax #430 features an iconic action shot of the Dodgers second baseman mid-air over a sliding runner. The card design consists of a solid navy blue border with a rounded light blue identification block at the bottom containing the Dodgers logo and player name. The Fleer brand logo appears in the top right corner.
Key Features
Iconic 'jumping' action photography, popular 1980s Dodgers star, part of the clean 1984 Fleer design aesthetic.

Authentic. Standard card stock for the era, correct color saturation for the 1984 Fleer set, and correct logo typography. Confidence: High.
Flaws to Note
Significant right-side centering issues; heavy chipping/whitening along the right vertical edge and bottom edge; soft corners (rounded corners); surface appears to have minor scuffing.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (as part of a team lot), COMC, or local card shop bulk bins. Selling as a single on eBay is not recommended due to shipping costs outweighing value.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card. To maximize value, include it in a 1980s Los Angeles Dodgers team set or a Steve Sax career lot. If listing individually, use an eBay Standard Envelope to keep shipping costs low for the buyer.
