Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Near Mint (NM 7)
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $0.25 - $1.00; PSA 10: $30.00 - $45.00; PSA 9: $10.00 - $15.00
Recent Sales
High-grade versions (PSA 10) frequently sell for approximately $40 on eBay; however, raw copies are generally found in local card shop 'dollar bins' or bulk lots due to high production volumes in the 90s.
Condition Details
The card shows slightly uneven centering with a thicker right border. There is some minor corner softness visible through the protective sleeve and a small speck of debris or surface wear above the top right 'SD' logo.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading unless sentimental. The cost of grading (approx. $15-$25) exceeds the raw market value, and the centering issue on this specific copy would likely prevent a Gem Mint 10 grade required for value growth.
Card Description
The card features Tony Gwynn of the San Diego Padres. It utilizes a landscape orientation with an artist's rendering (by V. Wells) showing a close-up portrait of the smiling player alongside an action shot of him at bat. A large stylized 'SD' logo occupies the right side against a dark, tiered background resembling stadium seating.
Notable Features
Features the 'THE COLLECTOR'S CHOICE' branding on the bottom right. This set was a lower-cost entry point for collectors in 1994. Includes the artist signature 'V. WELLS' in the bottom left of the portrait.
Authentication Notes
The card appears authentic with correct card stock and period-appropriate printing textures. There are no common counterfeiting concerns for this specific base card as it was mass-produced.
