Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Near Mint (NM 7)
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $0.10 - $0.50; Graded PSA 9/10: $10 - $25
Recent Sales
Raw copies consistently sell as part of bulk junk-wax lots or individually on eBay for under $1. High-grade PSA 10 slabs occasionally fetch $15 to $30 from team or set collectors.
Condition Details
The card has decent centering (slightly off-center left-to-right), minor wear on the top-right corner, clean edges, and no visible major creasing or severe surface defects.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The grading fees (minimum $15–$25 per card) significantly exceed the expected market value of a utility infielder card from the junk-wax era, unless submitting as part of a set registry build in gem mint condition.
Card Description
Features Philadelphia Phillies infielder Luis Aguayo in a batting stance wearing the classic powder blue road uniform and helmet. The design features a green outer inner frame, bold green 'PHILLIES' text at the top, and a diagonal purple banner in the bottom-right corner displaying the player's name in white.
Notable Features
Classic 1986 Topps design with iconic team name font and diagonal name stripe.
Authentication Notes
Genuine original 1986 Topps cardboard stock with correct period-accurate print quality, typography, and color saturation. Extremely low counterfeiting risk due to abundance and low monetary value.
