Description
A 1992 Fleer base card featuring Chris James of the Cleveland Indians in his batting stance. The card features the iconic '92 Fleer teal/seafoam green border with vertical red block lettering for the player name. The Cleveland Indians 'Chief Wahoo' logo is prominently displayed in the upper right. The bottom left features the Fleer '92 logo, and the bottom right identifies his position as Designated Hitter.
Key Features
Features the classic 1992 Fleer color-coded design and the now-retired Cleveland Indians 'Chief Wahoo' secondary logo.
Authenticity Indicators
Authentic. High confidence. This is a common card from the 'Junk Wax Era' and is not a target for counterfeiting. Printing dot patterns and card stock thickness are consistent with 1992 Fleer production.
Flaws to Note
Heavy right-side centering bias (approx 70/30). Softening and whitening on the top-right corner. Minor surface scuffing visible in the dark areas of the jersey and helmet. Fleer 1991-1993 sets are prone to edge chipping.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold as part of a team lot or set on eBay. Individual sale is not recommended due to shipping costs outweighing market value. Local thrift shops or garage sales in bulk lots.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card, as the grading fee (approx. $20+) is significantly higher than the card's market value. If selling, list it in a 'Cleveland Indians 1990s Lot' or use a 'Pick Your Card' dropdown listing on eBay to minimize fees.
