Description
Up for consideration is a classic 1984 Fleer Don Mattingly Rookie Card, #131. The card features a clear action photo of the iconic New York Yankees first baseman wearing his road gray uniform and fielding cap, set against a light blue background. The iconic Fleer blue border runs across the top and bottom with the player name and team logo clearly printed at the base.
Key Features
This is one of the premier rookie cards of the 1980s, featuring legendary New York Yankees star and fan favorite Don Mattingly. Essential for any 1980s set builder or Yankees PC collector.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence in authenticity based on standard 1980s card stock thickness, correct font typography, and proper coloring of the Fleer blue borders. This card is occasionally counterfeited, but standard printing dot patterns align with genuine Fleer production.
Flaws to Note
The card shows slight right-heavy centering on the front border and typical minor corner softening consistent with a mid-to-high grade raw card. No major creases or surface stains are immediately visible through the holder.

Selling Tips
Due to grading fees exceeding the raw value for this specific tier, it is generally recommended to sell this card raw unless submitting in a bulk group sub. Secure the card in a penny sleeve and top loader inside a team bag, and ship via USPS Ground Advantage in a bubble mailer with cardboard reinforcement.
