Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Excellent (EX 5) to Excellent-Mint (EX-MT 6)
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $3 - $8; PSA 8: $40 - $60; PSA 9: $200 - $300
Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for raw copies range from $2 to $10 depending on centering. High-grade PSA 9 copies have recently sold in the $250 range, while PSA 10 copies are extremely rare and command thousands.
Condition Details
The card shows typical 1981 Fleer issues including slightly rough edges. Centering is significantly shifted toward the bottom and left (roughly 70/30). Corners show light softening, particularly the bottom right. Surface appears relatively clean but shows age-appropriate toning on the cream-colored borders.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The off-center printing and softening corners would likely limit the grade to a PSA 5 or 6, where the cost of grading exceeds the market value of the slabbed card.
Card Description
Card features a portrait photo of Rickey Henderson in his Oakland Athletics green jersey and hat. The design features a circular team logo in the bottom left, the Fleer logo in red at the top left, and his name and position (Outfield) in the bottom right corner. This is Henderson's second-year card.
Notable Features
Second-year card of the Hall of Fame 'Man of Steal'. Features the Oakland Athletics team logo and Henderson's early career appearance.
Authentication Notes
Appears to be an authentic 1981 Fleer card showing period-correct card stock, ink absorption, and 'rough-cut' edges characteristic of the first year Fleer returned to baseball card production.
