Description
1986-87 Fleer Danny Ainge #2. Features the iconic red, white, and blue border design with the 'Fleer Premier' logo in the top right. Ainge is pictured in his Boston Celtics green road uniform, holding a basketball during gameplay. The card features a blue name plate at the bottom.
Key Features
Key card from the most influential basketball set in history (1986 Fleer). Features a Boston Celtics legend and popular multi-sport athlete (MLB/NBA) and front-office executive. High demand due to the iconic set's popularity with hall-of-fame collectors.
Authenticity Indicators
The 'Fleer Premier' crown logo appears sharp with correct color layering. The card stock shows the appropriate off-white/cream age color on the back (implied by front wear). Printing shows the characteristic dot pattern for this era. Confidence: High.
Flaws to Note
Significant edge wear and chipping along the colored borders particularly on the left and top edges. Visible corner rounding/softness on all four corners. Centering is shifted slightly toward the top-right. Surface appears to have some whitening/fuzziness near the edges.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform for this card in this condition. A fixed-price 'Buy It Now' with 'Best Offer' enabled would likely yield a sale to a set builder.
Selling Tips
Include 'Celtics' and '86 Fleer' in the title. Due to the condition issues, grading this card via PSA/BGS is not recommended as the cost of grading will exceed the value added. Take clear photos of the back to show any wax stains or paper loss, which are common in this set.
