Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for raw base copies of this card range from $0.25 to $1.50 plus shipping. High-volume rookie base cards typically sell in bulk lots unless graded high.
Condition Details
Surface shows visible glare from lighting in the image but edges and corners appear sharp. Centering looks slightly shifted toward the right border. Minor soft corner visible on the bottom right.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The cost of grading (approx $19-$25) significantly exceeds the projected market value of a base card for a middle-tier prospect/rookie unless it is a guaranteed Gem Mint 10 for a personal collection.
