Estimated Market Value

Recent Sales
Raw copies typically sell for $35-$50. Recent PSA 10 sales have fluctuated between $450 and $550 depending on timing and venue.
Condition Details
The card appears to be in excellent condition within the top-loader. Centering seems slightly shifted toward the top edge. Corners and edges through the plastic look sharp, though surface scratches on the top-loader may obscure minor surface wear on the card.
Grading Recommendation
Highly recommended if the surface is clean. Fleer Ultra 90s cards are notoriously difficult to grade due to dark borders and gold foil chipping; a high grade (9 or 10) significantly increases value.
Card Description
Features Shaquille O'Neal in his Los Angeles Lakers #34 jersey performing a powerful two-handed dunk. Text includes 'Shaquille O'Neal', 'Lakers / C', 'FLEER ULTRA', and 'GOLD MEDALLION' in gold foil.
Notable Features
Gold Medallion parallel variant with distinctive gold foil text 'GOLD MEDALLION' in a curved format on the bottom-left. Features a classic 1990s photography style with a high-gloss finish.
Authentication Notes
The gold foil stamping shows correct depth and font for the 1997 Ultra series. The 'Ultra' logo texture and the photo clarity are consistent with authentic Fleer production from this era.
