Description
A classic early-career card of Home Run King Barry Bonds featuring a dynamic following-through batting stance in his Pittsburgh Pirates home uniform. The iconic 1991 Fleer yellow border design surrounds a sharp action photo. The card is currently held in a penny sleeve with a price sticker.
Key Features
Features the MLB all-time home run leader in his prime Pittsburgh Pirates years; part of the iconic 'junk wax' era peak design with high-visibility yellow borders.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence in authenticity. This card has not been widely faked due to the massive production volume of 1991 Fleer. Card stock thickness and matte finish appear consistent with period-correct printing.
Flaws to Note
Possible surface scratches from handled storage; left-to-right centering is slightly off. 1991 Fleer cards often suffer from 'snow' (white print dots) in the dark photo areas and chipped edges due to the thin card stock.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold as part of a lot on eBay or Mercari. Individual sale is most effective at local card shows or in 'dollar bins' at local card shops. Not recommended for high-end auction houses unless graded PSA 10.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card unless it is absolutely flawless, as the grading fee will likely be 10x the card's worth. Remove the 1.00 sticker by replacing the penny sleeve before photographing for sale. Use high-contrast lighting to show the yellow borders clearly.
