Description
Featured here is the 1990 Fleer card of Hall of Famer Fred 'Crime Dog' McGriff. The card back features a vibrant pink and white vertical stripe design with a full statistical breakdown from his early career with the Blue Jays and minor league affiliates. It includes the distinctive 'Vital Signs' subset graphic on the bottom left and the classic Fleer '89 logo at the top right (representative of the prior season's stats).
Key Features
Features Hall of Fame first baseman Fred McGriff during his peak with the Toronto Blue Jays. Part of the iconic 'Junk Wax' era design.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. The card stock shows the correct thickness and porous texture for early 90s Fleer. The printing of the stats is sharp and the logos are authentic to the period. This card is not commonly faked given its high print volume.
Flaws to Note
Common centering issues typical of 1990 Fleer production; the reverse shows a slight leftward bias. Minor surface wear likely present on the high-gloss front not visible from the reverse photo.

Selling Tips
It is generally not cost-effective to grade this card unless it is a guaranteed PSA 10 candidate, as the grading fees will exceed the market value. Use high-resolution scans and ship in a penny sleeve/top loader to protect the corners.
