Recent Sales
Recent sales for 1998 Zenith Z-Team Barry Sanders vary wildly based on condition. Raw copies generally fetch $350-$450 on eBay. PSA 10 examples are extremely rare and command a significant premium due to the delicate foil surface.
Condition Details
Visible scratches on the surface (though some appear to be on the plastic holder), corner softening on the top right, and potential edge whitening visible through the case. Centering appears slightly off to the bottom-left.
Grading Recommendation
Highly recommended for grading if the surface scratches shown are on the case and not the card. Z-Team inserts are iconic 90s chase cards. An 8 or better would significantly increase value.
Card Description
Barry Sanders is pictured in his Detroit Lions home blue jersey (#20) carrying a football. He is set against a stylized 'Z-TEAM' background with sunburst light effects. The Detroit Lions logo and Zenith 'Z' logo are in the bottom corners.
Notable Features
This is a 'Z-Team' insert, which was a high-end chase card in 1998 Zenith. It features a dufex/foil finish that is highly susceptible to scratching. Barry Sanders is a Hall of Fame running back.
Authentication Notes
The card exhibits the correct Dufex refractive pattern and font styles associated with 1998 Pinnacle/Zenith products. No immediate signs of counterfeiting are present.
