Condition Details
Visible corner wear on the bottom right and top left; slight edge chipping common with the foil-heavy Metal Universe series. Centering appears slightly shifted towards the bottom. Surface likely has micro-abrasions from storage.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The card shows visible edge and corner wear that would likely result in a grade of 5 or 6. The cost of grading (approx. $15-$25) significantly exceeds the market value of the expected grade.
Card Description
The card features Kenny Lofton in his Cleveland Indians (now Guardians) home jersey and sunglasses, positioned in front of a heavy metallic-textured background with a circular yellow/green geometric pattern. The 'Metal' brand logo is stamped in foil on the bottom right.
Notable Features
Includes the 1990s-style etched foil 'Metal Universe' finish which is highly susceptible to surface scratching. Design is a hallmark of the mid-90s Fleer/Skybox aesthetic.
Authentication Notes
Authentic 1996 Fleer Metal product. The metallic sheen, font for 'Kenny Lofton', and the 'METAL' embossed-style logo are consistent with genuine period production.
