Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Near Mint (NM 7)
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $2.00 - $5.00; PSA 10: $150 - $200; PSA 9: $20 - $35
Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for raw copies range from $1 to $5 plus shipping. PSA 9 copies consistently sell for around $25-$30, while PSA 10s command a significant premium due to the sensitivity of the white borders and centering issues in this set.
Condition Details
The centering appears slightly off to the left (top-heavy in vertical view). There is visible whitening or soft chipping on the bottom right and left corners. The edges show minor wear typical of the card stock from this era.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading unless it can achieve a PSA 10. Due to visible corner wear and centering, this card is likely to grade as an 8 or lower. The cost of the grading fee would exceed the market value of the graded card.
Card Description
The card features the Los Angeles Clippers forward in a white home jersey (#5) mid-dunk. The design features a white border with red and blue accents, the Clippers team logo in the bottom left, and the 'Fleer 89' logo in the top right. Danny Manning was the #1 overall pick in the 1988 NBA Draft.
Notable Features
Features the 'RC' rookie card designation for the former #1 overall pick and two-time NBA All-Star; notable for being the visual anchor of the 1989 Fleer set alongside David Robinson's rookie year.
Authentication Notes
Appears authentic. The print quality, dot pattern in the skin tones, and card stock 'brownish' tint on the back (not visible but implied for the year) are consistent with genuine 1989-90 Fleer production. No high-value counterfeit risk for this specific player compared to Jordan or Robinson from the same era.
