Description
This 1993 Fleer Ultra features Cal Eldred of the Milwaukee Brewers in a dynamic high-leg kick pitching motion. The card utilizes Ultra's signature premium glossy finish with gold foil lettering for the player name and team designation. The back typically includes full career statistics and a second full-color action photo.
Key Features
High-gloss 'premium' stock for the era; classic 1990s gold foil stamping; featuring a 1990 first-round draft pick who was a rising star in the early 90s.
Authenticity Indicators
Authenticity confidence: High. The gold foil depth, marble-texture bottom border, and specific high-gloss card stock are indicative of genuine 1993 Fleer Ultra production. This card is not a target for counterfeiting due to high print runs.
Flaws to Note
Significant right-side centering bias; visible surface scuffs on the sensitive high-gloss coating; minor edge chipping typical of dark-bordered cards from this era.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold as part of a Milwaukee Brewers team set, a bulk 1993 Ultra set-filler lot on eBay, or in a 'quarter box' at a local card show.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card, as the grading fee will be significantly higher than the card's final value. Best for set builders or Brewers team collectors. If listing online, use a high-resolution scan to show the gold foil condition.
