Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Poor (P 1)
Estimated Market Value
Raw (Poor): $0.50 - $2.00; High Grade (PSA 10): $250 - $400
Recent Sales
In the shown condition, the card has negligible market value. Recent sales for PSA 9 versions range from $40-$60, while raw copies in EX condition sell for $5-$10.
Condition Details
Severe structural damage to the middle portion of the left edge (cardboard loss/tear), significant corner wear, surface soiling, and top-heavy centering.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The physical damage (torn edge) ensures a 'Poor' grade, making the cost of grading significantly higher than the potential market value.
Card Description
Features Cleveland Browns quarterback Bernie Kosar in a white jersey #19 during a game against the Chicago Bears. The design includes the 'Browns' team name in bold block letters at the bottom and a red/orange banner identifying the play as a 'Kosar Quick Release'.
Notable Features
This is an iconic 1986 Topps Rookie Card of the Cleveland Browns legend. It features the distinctive green-themed back common to the 1986 set.
Authentication Notes
The card appears to be an authentic 1986 Topps print based on the card stock texture and printing dots visible in the photo; however, the severe damage on the left side is the primary takeaway.
