Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Very Good (VG 3)
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $5 - $15; Graded (if error verified): $20 - $50 depending on exact authentication.
Recent Sales
Standard 1984 Topps Eric Dickerson base cards typically sell raw for $2 to $10 in lower grades. Misprinted or upside-down back/front alignment errors vary wildly by buyer interest.
Condition Details
Card is clearly oriented upside down relative to normal production, heavy corner wear, edge chipping on the black borders, and minor surface scuffing visible within the protective holder.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading due to the heavy corner and edge wear, as the grading cost would likely exceed the card's total value post-grade.
Card Description
Features Hall of Fame running back Eric Dickerson of the Los Angeles Rams in his blue and white uniform with the iconic yellow and blue helmet. The card is notoriously printed entirely upside down, showing his name inverted at the top and Rams text flipped.
Notable Features
Significant printing error / miscut / inverted front error where the entire front image and text are flipped upside down.
Authentication Notes
Standard vintage card stock from 1984 Topps. The misprint error appears to be a genuine factory production defect rather than a modern counterfeit, given the period-accurate toning and card stock texture.
