Description
A classic early 90s design featuring Houston Astros pitcher Jimmy Jones in his delivery motion. The card utilizes the iconic 1992 Fleer 'teal/mint green' gradient border. The front includes the 'Fleer 92' logo, the classic Astros 'rainbow' logo, and large vertical typography for the player's name.
Key Features
Features Jimmy Jones in the classic Houston Astros 'Shooting Star' uniform. This is a common base card from the 'Junk Wax Era' of card production.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. The card stock shows the appropriate semi-gloss texture of 1992 Fleer, and the printing dot matrix for the era is correct. There is virtually no incentive to counterfeit this specific card.
Flaws to Note
Slight corner softening on the bottom right. Centering is slightly biased toward the top. The 1992 Fleer set is prone to 'chipping' on the teal borders, though this copy looks relatively clean.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold as part of a bulk Houston Astros team lot or a complete 1991 set on eBay. Individual sale is best suited for COMC (Check Out My Cards) or a 'Pick Your Card' style eBay listing.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card, as the cost of grading ($19+) is much higher than the card's market value. If selling, combine it with other 1980s-90s Astros players to save on shipping costs. Use a Plain White Envelope (PWE) to keep shipping under $1.00.
