Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for raw copies of this specific League Leaders subset card typically range between $0.99 and $3.00 including shipping. Graded copies are rarely seen due to the low base value.
Condition Details
The card shows slightly uneven centering with a heavier left border. There is minor chipping or whitening visible on the bottom right corner edge. The surface appears clean but the card stock for this set is prone to softening at the corners.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The cost of grading exceeds the market value of the card unless it is a guaranteed Gem Mint 10 for a registry collector. Given the visible corner wear, it is unlikely to reach a profitable grade.
Card Description
Sammy Sosa is pictured in his Chicago Cubs away grey jersey (number 21), watching a home run. The card features a retro-inspired design with a maroon border and a yellow 'League Leader in home runs' banner at the bottom. It includes the Fleer Tradition logo in the center-right and the National League logo inside a white circle at the bottom.
Notable Features
Features the 'League Leader' designation for his home run totals. Design is a homage to the 1954 Fleer style.
Authentication Notes
Authentic. The card stock, printing dots, and font styles are consistent with early 2000s Fleer production. No signs of modern reproduction or alteration.
