Description
This 1991 Fleer Barry Bonds #120 features the Home Run King during his prime with the Pittsburgh Pirates. Characterized by the iconic (and often polarizing) bright yellow border design of the 1991 Fleer set, the card depicts Bonds in a classic left-handed power-swing follow-through. The front includes his name at the top and the FLEER '91 logo and 'PIRATES OF' at the bottom.
Key Features
Features 7-time MVP Barry Bonds during his Pittsburgh Pirates tenure; iconic 'Junk Wax' era design; highly recognizable yellow border.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence in authenticity. This card is from the high-production 'Junk Wax' era and is rarely counterfeited. Correct card stock thickness and flat matte finish with standard 1991 Fleer typography are present.
Flaws to Note
Significant top-to-bottom centering issues (common for this set); visible corner wear on the bottom right; minor chipping along the left edge; centering is the primary detractor from a high grade.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold in bulk on eBay (lots of 50-100 base cards), COMC (for steady long-term selling), or as part of a complete set in local marketplaces like Facebook Marketplace.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card unless you are certain it is a PSA 10 candidate, as the grading fee will outweigh the market value for lower grades. If selling individually, use 'PWE' (Plain White Envelope) shipping to keep costs low for the buyer. Mention 'Pirates' and 'Home Run King' in the tags.
