Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for raw copies are often part of bulk lots or sold for less than $1.50 including shipping. PSA 10 examples rarely come to market due to the low value of the player.
Condition Details
Softness visible on the bottom right corner; centering appears slightly shifted to the left; minor surface wear consistent with age and storage without a sleeve.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The cost of grading exceeds the market value of the card, even if it were to receive a high grade. This is a common card from the 'junk wax' era.
