Description
A classic 1986 Fleer baseball card featuring Montreal Expos shortstop Hubie Brooks. The card features the iconic dark blue borders characteristic of the 1986 set, which are notorious for showing edge wear. Hubie is shown in a candid sideline pose wearing the classic Expos home red-and-white cap and red practice jersey behind a batting cage net. The Expos 'M' logo is prominently displayed in the bottom left corner inside a white circle.
Key Features
Features a 2-time Silver Slugger award winner and All-Star; part of the conditioned-sensitive 1986 Fleer set known for its high susceptibility to chipping and printer's hickey defects.
Authenticity Indicators
Authentic Fleer card stock (matte feel); correct 1986 Fleer print pattern; standard thickness for the era. Common card with extremely low incentive for counterfeiting. Confidence: High.
Flaws to Note
Visible chipping/roughness on the right-hand edge; minor white touch on the bottom-left corner; centering is slightly heavy toward the top border. Surface appears clean but the dark blue ink is very prone to faint scratches.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold on eBay in a 'pick-your-card' style listing, COMC for passive selling to set builders, or in bulk/team lots on Facebook Marketplace.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card unless you believe it is a perfect PSA 10 candidate, as grading fees far exceed the value for lower grades. Use a high-resolution scan to show the condition of the blue borders, and ship in a plain white envelope (PWE) with a top loader to keep shipping costs low for the buyer.
