Recent Sales
Comparable 1999 Upper Deck Showcase inserts for legends like Ryan typically sell for under $10 raw on eBay. Graded copies are infrequent but command a premium for high grades due to surface sensitivity.
Condition Details
Moderate surface scratching visible on the holographic finish, particularly near the '20th Showcase' text. Slight top-heavy centering. Corners appear relatively sharp but display minor white chipping typical of late 90s Upper Deck stock.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading unless sentimental. The visible surface scratches and 'P' prefix (typically indicating a subset or insert) limit the ceiling of this specific card compared to Ryan's main set cards or rare parallels. Grading costs would likely exceed the card's market value.

Authentic Upper Deck product. The holographic refractor effect is consistent with 1999 manufacturing standards. Font spacing and logo placement match official releases.
