Description: This is a 4 card lot of former Los Angeles Dodger sensation Fernando Valenzuela. All cards in this wonderful commemorative lot are different and they are all 40 years old or more! Valenzuela made his debut with the Dodgers during the 1980 season and in 1981 "Fernandomania" started! Valenzuela had a very unorthodox windup, turning his back to the hitters and looking to the heavens. Vernando's primary out pitch was a screwball. His career highlights include a win-loss record of 173–153, with an earned run average (ERA) of 3.54. In 1981, Valenzuela won his first eight starts (AND five of them were shutouts). In 1981 Valenzuela finished with a record of 13–7 had a 2.48 ERA and he became the first, only player to win both Cy Young and Rookie of the Year awards in the same season. Here are some of Valenzuela's career accomplishments: 6 time All-Star World Series champion NL Cy Young Award winner NL Rookie of the Year winnerGold Glove Award winnerTwice he won the Silver Slugger Award Pitched a no-hitter on June 29, 1990 Valenzuela was inducted into the Hispanic Heritage Baseball Museum Hall of Fame on August 23, 2003. In 2005, he was named one of three starting pitchers on MLB's Latino Legends Team. In 2013, he was enshrined into the Caribbean Baseball Hall of Fame. This lot includes 1 card of each listed below: 1982 Fleer #27 (hard to find 2nd year card with the classic pose of Fernando looking to the heavens) 1982 Donruss #4621983 Donruss #1 (Donruss honored him as being card #1 in the set as a "Diamond King")1984 Topps #220 Because I have a few of these lots, the cards shown in the scans are examples of my card quality and not necessarily the cards you will receive. All the cards you will receive will be in Near Mint (NM) condition or better (most are NMMT)! As was the case in those days, some cards may be off center but none will be miscut, meaning inner frame of the photo will NOT touch the card edge. If you have questions please contact me and review my feedback from other buyers. To help you understand how I've evaluated card condition, included is a sample condition guideline showing what grading scale is used by the 3 major card grading companies / authenticators. As a potential buyer, I'd like you to know a little about me, I'm a card collector and have been since the late 60's, baseball cards are my primary collecting interest. During the mid-80's I started attending card shows to buy, sell and trade. From the mid-90s until about 2013 my personal interest in the hobby was put on hold as raising a family and my career to support my family were the priority. Currently, I have raw and graded baseball cards available dating back to the late 50's and raw football, basketball and hockey from the early to mid-70's in varying condition. My 'inventory' also includes unopened wax, cello and racks. At the moment I just don't have time to list all the cards I'm willing to sell, but if there is something you are looking for, let me know and I'll see if I have the item available. If you have additional questions, please feel free to contact me and I'll do the best I can to answer your questions. In the interest of transparency and to help the transactions be as pleasant and smooth as possible, I've outlined a few things below that apply to the purchase(s) from me. There is no return on sales of raw, ungraded, cards. If there is a mistake, please contact me and we can try to work something out. Please review my feedback from other buyers, I think you'll find that I'm a very "buyer friendly" seller. To help reduce shipping costs, unless instructed otherwise, these cards will be shipped in a Plain White Envelope (PWE). If requested by the buyer, shipping in a small padded envelope will cost $4. Shipping fees listed are for delivery within the continental 48 states of the USA using USPS. International rates will vary and will charged extra, with the exact amount to be determined at the time of purchase. Shipments are typically mailed twice per week, on Saturdays and once during midweek. If you need an item with expedited shipping please notify me, while there is no guarantees that I'll be able to expedite the item(s), I will do my best to accommodate your request. Combined shipping is available and is based on the following: a) The buyer will pay the first or highest shipping fee and add $1.00 for each additional single graded card or $0.25 for each additional raw, ungraded, card. b) If unless the value is more than $200, I will insure the package through USPS, in which case the shipping costs may be more. If the buyer accepts the risk of the item(s) getting lost or damaged the buyer can request the insurance be waived. c) Unless mutually agreed otherwise, the combined shipping is only available for items purchased within a 7 day period starting with the first purchase. d) In cases where multiple items are purchased, please don't pay until you receive the updated invoice.
