Recent Sales
Raw copies typically sell in bulk lots or for less than $1. Graded PSA 9 copies have recently sold in the $20 range on eBay.
Condition Details
Moderate whitening and soft corners, especially on the top right. Visible edge wear and chipping on the black-bordered top section. Centering is shifted slightly toward the top/left.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The visible corner wear and edge chipping on the sensitive black-border design will likely prevent it from achieving a high enough grade to offset the grading fees.
Card Description
Rick Dempsey is shown as a catcher for the Baltimore Orioles in his signature gray road uniform. He is pictured in a follow-through batting stance. The 1986 Topps design features large team name block lettering at the top in orange against a black background.
Notable Features
Includes a small 'C' circle icon designating his position as catcher. Features the classic 1986 Topps black-top design which is notoriously difficult to find in perfect condition due to edge chipping.
Authentication Notes
Appears to be an authentic 1986 Topps card with correct period-specific matte card stock and typical print patterns for the era.
