Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Excellent (EX 5)
Estimated Market Value
$0.10 - $0.50 (Raw); $10.00 - $15.00 (Graded PSA 9)
Recent Sales
Bulk sets or individual base cards from this era typically sell for cents in raw condition on platforms like eBay. Graded Gem Mint copies rarely surface as it is not a high-demand card.
Condition Details
Moderate surface wear/scuffing visible on the top right area of the player's face and hat. Centering is heavily shifted to the left and slightly top-heavy. Corners show minor softening, particularly the bottom right. Minor white chipping visible on the red nameplate border.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The card is a common player from the 'junk wax' era, and the cost of grading significantly exceeds the market value. The visible centering issues and surface wear would result in a low technical grade.
Card Description
Pat Putnam is featured as a first baseman (1B) for the Seattle Mariners. He is wearing a blue Mariners jersey with yellow trim and a blue trucker-style cap with the 'Star Trident' logo. The 1984 Donruss design features a white border with a red banner for the name and a stylized 'Donruss 84' logo in the bottom right corner.
Notable Features
Features the classic 1980s Seattle Mariners 'Star Trident' hat logo and the iconic 1984 Donruss design, which is famous for the Don Mattingly rookie card found in this set.
Authentication Notes
Appears authentic. The print pattern (ben-day dots) visible on the skin tones and the specific card stock thickness are consistent with 1984 Donruss production standards.
