Condition Details
Card appears to be housed inside a binder page, showing light surface dust on the plastic. The top border shows minor edge wear and slight chipping typical of late 80s Hoops card stock. Corners show slight softening under close review. Centering looks relatively even from left to right.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading unless pristine upon removal from the binder, as raw copies are inexpensive and grading fees would likely exceed the card's value at lower grades.
Card Description
Features Tim Hardaway of the Golden State Warriors in his blue and yellow uniform, wearing jersey number 5, driving to the basket with a basketball in his right hand. The card has a gray border with a yellow and blue 'ROOKIE' star graphic in the top right and a Golden State Warriors team logo emblem in the bottom right. The bottom features a yellow banner with the 'NBA HOOPS' logo.
Notable Features
Prominent 'ROOKIE' star graphic designation in the top right corner, identifying this as his official rookie card from the inaugural 1989-90 Hoops basketball set.
Authentication Notes
Standard 1989-90 Hoops card stock and font styling appear consistent with genuine mass-produced vintage releases. No obvious signs of counterfeiting detected from visual inspection.
