Description
This is a 1989 Fleer base card featuring Boston Red Sox Hall of Fame designated hitter Jim Rice. The card features Fleer's iconic gray border with vertical stripes design, a red accent slash, the player's name and position in the upper left, and the Boston Red Sox circular team logo in the upper right corner. The photograph captures Rice following through on a powerful swing during a game at Fenway Park.
Key Features
Features Hall of Famer Jim Rice in his classic Boston Red Sox uniform during the late 1980s. Part of the iconic 1989 Fleer set known for its distinctive gray striped borders and high-production era mass availability.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence in authenticity. The card stock, gloss, typography, and team logo colors match original 1989 Fleer production standards. Not a heavily counterfeited card due to its high print run and low secondary market value.
Flaws to Note
Slight top-heavy centering typical of late 1980s mass-produced Fleer printing standards. Minor corner wear could be present upon closer under-magnification inspection.

Selling Tips
Due to low individual value, it is not economically viable to have this specific card professionally graded. Best sold as part of a team set, player lot, or bulk vintage lot rather than individually to save on shipping and listing costs.
