Description
A classic 1992 Fleer Ultra Cory Snyder base card featuring the veteran outfielder in his San Francisco Giants road uniform. The card boasts the iconic premium high-gloss finish that defined the early '90s 'Ultra' brand, with a gold leaf '92 Fleer Ultra logo in the upper right. The photography shows Snyder in a defensive ready position, sporting era-appropriate wrap-around sunglasses. The bottom border features a marbled grey/slate texture with a red nameplate.
Key Features
Premium high-gloss finish, gold-foil stamped logo, Cory Snyder in Giants uniform (played only one season for SFG in 1991).
Authenticity Indicators
Authentic. The card stock thickness, high-gloss UV coating, and specific gold foil leafing on the logo match 1992 Fleer production standards. Confidence is High; this card is not a target for counterfeiting due to high print volume.
Flaws to Note
Centering is biased toward the left edge. The dark top and bottom borders are prone to chipping. Minor surface scuffs are typical for this high-gloss set when stored without sleeves.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold as part of a team lot or set on eBay, or through a COMC (Check Out My Cards) account. Selling individually on eBay is often not profitable due to shipping and platform fees.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card; the grading fees will far exceed the market value. List as part of a '1990s Giants' or 'Cory Snyder' lot to maximize likelihood of a sale. If selling individually, use eBay Standard Envelope for $0.60-$1.00 shipping to keep costs low for the buyer.
