Population Context
This card is not commonly submitted to PSA or BGS for grading. As a mass-produced boxed set insert from 1989, graded populations are relatively low. When graded, PSA 9 copies are findable but PSA 10s are scarce due to print quality typical of Fleer's late-1980s boxed set production — including soft focus printing and centering issues.
Collector Notes
This card comes from a 44-card boxed set sold at retail stores like Walmart and K-Mart in 1989, meaning print runs were high and quality control was inconsistent. Collectors should watch for centering issues (left-right tilt is common), print spots or speckling on the card face, and edge/corner wear from loose packaging in the original box. The card stock is thinner than base Fleer issues. Despite modest value, it remains a popular Ozzie Smith PC (personal collection) piece due to its clean design.
