Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Excellent (EX 5)
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $1.00 - $3.00; PSA 10: $150.00 - $200.00; PSA 9: $15.00 - $25.00
Recent Sales
Raw copies frequently sell in bulk or for under $5 on eBay. Graded PSA 10 copies have seen high demand due to Hall of Fame status, but lower grades (PSA 8 or below) often sell for less than the cost of the grading fee.
Condition Details
Visible centering issues with a heavy right-side bias. Top-left corner appears rounded/worn. Minor edge whitening is visible against the blue border. Overall surface seems decent but lacks the crispness of a high-grade specimen.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The centering is significantly off-left-to-right, and the corner wear suggests it would likely receive a grade between PSA 5 and PSA 6, which carries low market value.
Card Description
Features a close-up portrait of pitcher Randy Johnson wearing his Montreal Expos uniform and cap. The design includes a blue inner border, the 'Expos' team name in stylized script, and the player name in a red banner. This card represents 'The Big Unit' at the start of his Hall of Fame career.
Notable Features
Rookie Card (RC). Hall of Fame player. Iconic 1989 Topps design with team logo 'bubble' name banner.
Authentication Notes
The card appears to be an authentic 1989 Topps production. The card stock shows the appropriate vintage grey/brown cardboard back typical of Topps from this era, and the print patterns/halftone dots match original manufacturing standards.
