Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Near Mint (NM 7)
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $5 - $15 | PSA 10: $350+ | PSA 9: $40 - $60
Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for raw copies range from $3 to $12 depending on shipping. Higher-grade PSA 10 copies have recently sold for between $380 and $450.
Condition Details
Centering appears slightly shifted to the right (about 65/35). Top left corner shows very minor whitening, and there is slight edge rough-cut characteristic of 1980s Topps stock.
Grading Recommendation
Only worth grading if the surface is flawless and you believe it could hit a PSA 10. Given the visible centering and corner softess, it is likely a PSA 7 or 8, which does not carry a high enough premium to justify grading costs.
Card Description
Features a portrait shot of Randy Johnson in his Montreal Expos uniform. The design includes a curved blue border on the left and a 'bubble' text logo on the right featuring 'Expos' in stylized script and 'Randy Johnson' in a banner.
Notable Features
Rookie Card (RC) of a 300-game winner and Hall of Fame pitcher. Iconic 'Big Unit' debut card.
Authentication Notes
Appears authentic. The dot-matrix printing pattern in the Expos logo and the specific cardboard stock color (gray back) are consistent with 1989 Topps production.
