Condition Details
Image appears slightly out of focus and grainy; noticeable corner softening on the top right and bottom left. Minor surface edge wear visible along the bottom. Centering is full-bleed by design but looks slightly tilted.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The current market value of a raw 1998 Flair Showcase Pedro Martinez Row 2 is lower than grading fees, and the condition appears lower than what is required for a profitable return.
Card Description
The card features Hall of Fame pitcher Pedro Martinez in his Boston Red Sox uniform. The design is a typical late-90s Flair aesthetic, featuring a dual-image composition with a large, artistic portrait background and a smaller action shot of Pedro in his pitching motion. The text at the bottom is in gold foil cursive font.
Notable Features
Features the 'Flair Showcase' gold foil logo. Notable for being from Pedro's first year with the Boston Red Sox. Part of the multi-row (Row 2, Row 1, Row 0) tiers common to this set.
Authentication Notes
The gold foil stamping and the characteristic thick card stock associated with the Flair brand appear consistent with authentic 1998 production.
