1998 Fleer Brilliants Dirk Nowitzki Illuminators #9 PSA 9 Mint

This is a professionaly graded 1998 Fleer Brilliants 'Illuminators' insert basketball trading card featuring Dirk Nowitzki during his rookie season. The card is encased in a sonic-welded clear plastic slab from Professional Sports Authenticator (PSA). The card design features a green-themed prismatic or holographic aesthetic common to the late 90s insert era, with radiating sunburst lines emanating from the player's chest area and the 'Illuminators' text at the top. The player is depicted in his Dallas Mavericks jersey. The PSA label at the top indicates a grade of MINT 9, suggesting the card has nearly perfect corners, sharp focus, and original gloss, with perhaps one minor flaw. The certificate number shown is 30443270. Being a second-tier parallel/insert from the Fleer Brilliants set, it represents high-end late 90s manufacturing quality including acetate or foil-finished cardstock that produces a luminous effect when rotated under light. The case appears to be in good condition without significant scratching or chips, preserving the integrity of the high-grade rookie year card within.
