1996 Fleer Thrill Seekers (Fading/Yellowing?) CALLING ALL EXPERTS

[pacmon84]

Anyone notice any fading/yellowing/purpleing on these cards? Anxious to hear from you experts and if you have any photo proof. If you had a side by side comparison to share that would be great! If this is indeed a problem.

Card in question...appears to have a purplish hue to it. Can anyone compare it to their Jordan Thrill Seekers and also take pics please?

Yes, there is indeed fading problems with these. I'm not sure if people notice when buying, but it doesn't affect sale price or grade much. I kind of compare it to dunk n go nuts with the way they sell and grade with yellowing not hurting it too much.
Here is an example. These are 2 Iversons I had (well, second card is in my pc). As you can tell, the second card is what the colors are supposed to be and the first looks as if it has maybe been sitting out where the sun was exposed to it. Both of these were taken on the same scanner.

I have another example with Reggie Miller but I'll have to dig it up.

Compared to the Jordan in question, there is a slight discoloration or fading but not terrible from some of the ones I have seen. Here is mine.

Here is a Miller I had. This is an example of how bad they can actually get. All of the color seems bleached out.

Here is my Miller in my pc that I upgraded with. The colors are bold and bright.

Do you have one you suspect is yellowing for sale/trade?
