Description
A classic 1987 Fleer baseball card featuring four-time All-Star pitcher Joaquin Andujar. The card features the iconic 1987 Fleer design with dark blue borders and a rounded inner frame. Andujar is shown in his Oakland Athletics home uniform. The reverse side typically features blue and white text with player statistics.
Key Features
Features a multi-time All-Star and World Series champion; iconic blue-bordered '87 Fleer design which is notoriously difficult to find in high grades due to chipping.
Authenticity Indicators
Authenticity confidence: High. This is a common card from the junk wax era and is rarely counterfeited. The card stock shows appropriate age-related browning on the edges and correct ink saturation.
Flaws to Note
Significant right-side centering bias; edge chipping on the top and right blue borders; bottom right corner shows impact wear/delamination; surface appears consistent with age but the dark borders highlight every minor nick.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold as part of a bulk lot on eBay or listed in a COMC (Check Out My Cards) account. Individual sale is difficult due to shipping costs exceeding the card's value.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card; the grading fees will far exceed the market value given its current condition. If listing individualy, use 'Plain White Envelope' (PWE) shipping to keep costs low. Bulk it with other 1980s A's cards or 1987 Fleer cards to attract set builders.
