Demand Level
Low. While Clemens is a legendary pitcher, his cards from this era were overproduced ('Junk Wax Era'), and the steroid controversy continues to suppress his market value compared to other HOFers.
Valuation
Raw (Ungraded) Value
$0.25 - $1.00
Graded Value
PSA 5: $5-10, PSA 6: $12-18, PSA 9: $45+. Note: This specific card is not a candidate for grading due to damage.
Comparable Sales
Raw copies in Near Mint condition typically sell for $1.50-$3.00. High-grade PSA 10 copies have sold for $100+, but damaged raw copies like this one hold little to no individual resale value beyond bulk pricing.
Description
This 1987 Fleer Baseball's Best features Boston Red Sox ace Roger Clemens. The design includes the 'Baseball's Best' yellow header logo and a blue/orange border scheme unique to this retail box set. The card highlights his 3.48 ERA (incorrectly noted as 3.45/3.15 on some versions). The reverse side features career stats and biographical info on blue card stock.
Key Features
Hall of Fame caliber player; Early career card; Part of the 44-card 'Baseball's Best' limited retail set sold in bright blue boxes.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence in authenticity. This set is printed on slightly thin, semi-gloss cards typical of Fleer box sets of the era. This card is rarely counterfeited due to its low market value.
Flaws to Note
A heavy horizontal crease is visible on the right edge through the player's jersey. The corners show significant whitening and rounding. The top border is thinner than the bottom, indicating poor centering.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (as part of a lot), Facebook Marketplace, or local card shop bulk bins. Selling as a single is difficult due to the condition.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card; the grading fees far exceed the card's value. Best sold as part of a Roger Clemens player lot or a 1980s Red Sox lot to someone looking for a placeholder card.
