Condition Grade
PSA 8 (NM-MT) / PSA 9 (Mint) Centering: 45/55 Left-to-Right. The corners appear sharp for the era, but the 1991 Fleer set is notoriously prone to edge chipping and print defects (black ink specks) on the yellow borders.

Valuation
Raw (Ungraded) Value
$0.10 - $0.50
Graded Value
PSA 8: $5-10, PSA 9: $15-20, PSA 10: $40-60. Note: Grading costs usually exceed the value for this specific player/year.
Comparable Sales
Raw copies typically sell for under $1 or are found in bargain bins. Recent PSA 10 sales have fluctuated between $35 and $55, but PSA 9s struggle to sell for more than the cost of the grading fee.
Description
This 1991 Fleer baseball card features Atlanta Braves left-handed pitcher Steve Avery. It boasts the iconic and vibrant 'canary yellow' border design characteristic of the 1991 Fleer set. The front features an action shot of Avery in his wind-up during a day game, captioned with his name and team position 'Braves P'.
Key Features
Steve Avery was a key member of the dominant 1990s Atlanta Braves pitching rotation along with Maddux, Glavine, and Smoltz. This card represents a peak era for Braves collectors.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. This card is not commonly counterfeited due to the high production volume (Junk Wax Era) and low individual market value. The card stock is standard Fleer semi-gloss cardboard.
Flaws to Note
The heavy yellow borders frequently show tiny white edge chips. Centering on this specific card looks fairly good, though there is a slight right-leaning tilt. Common print 'snow' or black ink dots can often be found on the yellow surface.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (as part of a team lot or 'pick your card' listing), COMC, or in person at local card show 'dollar boxes'.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card individually unless it is a guaranteed PSA 10 for a personal collection. It is best sold as part of a 1991 Fleer complete set or an Atlanta Braves player lot to maximize shipping efficiency.
