The Fleer Premier logo is present in the top right corner, and Malone's name, position, and team ('JAZZ - FORWARD') appear in a blue area at the bottom. The card has clean, squared edges and a white background with bright primary color elements that make it distinctive among 1980s basketball cards. This example is graded VG-EX 4 by PSA, indicating visible wear such as corner and edge softness, some surface or print blemishes, and possible centering issues.
