1993 Flair Promos

ajw

Anyone know how much these typically go for? I have a seller offering me the Will Clark card. He's also got the Clark 1990 Donruss Preview. Any idea on a fair price for that one?

Thanks.

I have no idea about the Flair Promos, but I do know a little about the 1990 Donruss Previews. I remember somebody on these boards finding a full set for under $50 a year or two ago. I have the Previews as one of my searches, and they rarely come up, maybe a few auctions per year. I would expect the Clark to go somewhere under $10.

From Beckett's site:

"This eight-card standard-size set was issued to preview the design of the 1993 Flair series. These cards can be distinguished by triple zero on their backs; otherwise, they are identical to their regular issue counterparts. The cards are listed below in alphabetical order by player's last name. According to unverified reports, Fleer shredded a 5,000 count box of these cards to avoid potential difficulties with their liscening organizations.

Will Clark
Darren Daulton
Andres Galarraga
Bryan Harvey
David Justice
Jody Reed
Nolan Ryan
Sammy Sosa"

I recall seeing the Ryan sell on Ebay for over $50 at some point last year.
An "SGC 9" 1993 Flair promo Sammy Sosa went unsold for $35 in December.

Also, I recall reading a while back that these cards were released in two ways, as an uncut strip, and as factory cut cards. The factory cut cards are apparently rarer than the sheets, which means that folks likely have cut their sheets to pass off as factory cuts.

Thanks very much, digicat! That's very helpful. The seller sent me a scan and seems to have a fair price, so I'll probably pick them up.
