BID PER WHAT YOU SEE IN THE PHOTO, NOT THE AI GENERATED TITLES AND DESCRIPTIONS! MLB Baseball Sammy Sosa 1990 Fleer #548 Rookie Card Error PR Birthplace
This is a 1990 Fleer Sammy Sosa rookie card, number 548, featuring the seven-time All-Star during his tenure with the Chicago White Sox. Based on web consensus and visual verification of the card reverse, this is the notable error variant which incorrectly lists Sosa’s birthplace as San Pedro de Macoris, PR (Puerto Rico) rather than the Dominican Republic. The card front features a portrait of a young Sosa in his White Sox uniform with the Fleer 90 and team logos. The reverse provides a comprehensive breakdown of his early career statistics with the Rangers and White Sox organizations, along with the biographical error in the header. This English-language card is a staple of the early 1990s era and remains a popular target for error card collectors.
