This 1989 Fleer Randy Johnson Rookie #381 is the Marlboro ad version, graded PSA 9 Mint. The original printing shows a Marlboro billboard in the background that Fleer later obscured, making this one of the hobby’s best-known variations and a classic oddball for error and variation collectors.
Randy Johnson starred at USC before beginning his MLB career with the Montreal Expos.
