Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Very Good-Excellent (VG-EX 4)
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $0.10 - $0.50; Graded (PSA 10): $15 - $25
Recent Sales
The card is standard 1990s 'junk wax' era stock; individual sales are rare, typically sold in team sets or bulk lots for pennies per card. Graded copies of this specific player and year rarely appear on the market due to low demand.
Condition Details
Softness and rounding on all four corners; surface appear slightly dull with possible minor scuffing; edges show light silvering/wear typical of 1990s Fleer stock; centering is roughly 60/40 top-to-bottom.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The cost of the grading fee (approx. $15-$25) significantly exceeds the market value of the card even in high grade. Mike Macfarlane is a retired veteran collector-level player, not a Hall of Famer.
Card Description
Mike Macfarlane is shown as a member of the Boston Red Sox in his catcher's role, though he is pictured here in a batting stance holding a bat. He is wearing the classic grey Red Sox away jersey and blue batting helmet. The 1996 Fleer design features a full-bleed photo with gold foil lettering for the player's name at the bottom.
Notable Features
Includes gold foil stamping for the player name and the 'Fleer 96' logo in the upper left corner. No serial numbering or autographs are present.
Authentication Notes
The card appears authentic to the 1996 Fleer production run. The gold foil depth and card stock thickness are consistent with the period; there is no significant incentive for counterfeiting this specific card.
