Ultra high-grade early release Raphael with Soft Head and Fan Club Flyer from 1988. Much tougher to find than later releases, the early issues featuring the soft head and FCF command a substantial premium. Finding one with “triple 85” subgrades has proven to a very difficult task. Our offering sports a perfectly flat card with great color throughout with few blemishes. Bubble retains perfect form but has tinted a bit since grading. Soft head Raphael displayed within is in mint condition. Premium early release pieces like this in high-grade are being swept up by collectors and investors alike and we expect this one to be no different.
