1996 Fleer Ultra Sammy Sosa Baseball Card

The item is a 1996 Fleer Ultra baseball trading card featuring Sammy Sosa, an outfielder for the Chicago Cubs. The card is encased in a rigid, clear plastic top-loader with "SPORTS CARD" embossed across the top, indicating it's protected for preservation. The card itself displays a vibrant, full-color action shot of Sammy Sosa in a batting stance, wearing the distinctive white pinstriped uniform of the Chicago Cubs, complete with the 'Cubs' logo on his sleeve and cap. He is holding a wooden baseball bat. The background shows a portion of the stands with blurred spectators, suggesting an in-game or practice setting. In the upper left corner, there is a yellow and red 'Fleer Ultra' logo alongside a baseball graphic. The bottom of the card features a blue strip with 'SAMMY SOSA' printed in white and a red-orange strip beneath it with 'CUBS - OF' (Cubs - Outfielder) written in a darker, contrasting color. The card appears to be in excellent condition with no visible creases, tears, or significant surface abrasions, though some dust or minor marks may be present on the plastic casing. The colors are rich and well-preserved. The card's age is mid-1990s as indicated by the '1996 Fleer Ultra' branding. The manufacturing quality appears standard for a mass-produced trading card of that era, with clear printing and good color registration.
