1994 Ultra Sammy Sosa Baseball Card - Fleer Ultra #396

This is a 1994 Sammy Sosa baseball card from the Fleer Ultra set, featuring the outfielder in his Chicago Cubs home pinstripe uniform. The card depicts Sosa in a high-action follow-through after a throw, set against a vibrant green baseball field background. The card is printed on premium-weight cardstock with a high-gloss finish, which was a hallmark of the 'Ultra' brand during the mid-1990s. The bottom design features a blue textured banner with 'Sammy SOSA' in black and red lettering, along with a gold foil 'Ultra' seal on the left side. The physical condition shown in the image indicates it is currently stored in a soft plastic penny sleeve. Visible wear includes soft corners and potential edge chipping, which is common for full-bleed photography cards of this era. The centering appears slightly shifted toward the bottom left. There are noticeable surface scratches and creases apparent on the plastic sleeve, which may or may not affect the card underneath. This item represents a peak era of 90s sports collectibles, reflecting the high-gloss aesthetic popular before the market shifted toward more complex jersey and autograph relics.
