Description
This 1984 Fleer card features Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman Steve Sax in a dynamic leaping action shot over a sliding baserunner. The card features the signature dark blue borders of the 1984 Fleer set with a light blue nameplate at the bottom and the vintage Dodgers script logo.
Key Features
Features a fan-favorite 1980s Dodgers star. Action shot typical of Fleer's mid-80s photography style. 1984 is a popular year for Fleer collectors due to the set's cleanliness and the Don Mattingly rookie card.
Authenticity Indicators
Authentic. Features the correct matte card stock of the era, the Fleer logo font is crisp, and the blue ink saturation matches known originals. This card is not targeted by counterfeiters due to its high population and modest value. High confidence (100%).
Flaws to Note
Significant edge chipping along the right vertical edge, which is common with the dark blue borders. Visible white dotting on corner tips. Centering is shifted towards the top border. Surface appears somewhat dull.
