Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Near Mint (NM 7)
Estimated Market Value
$1.00 - $3.00 (Raw); $15.00 - $25.00 (PSA 10)
Recent Sales
Ungraded copies typically sell for less than $2 on eBay. PSA 10 gem mint examples have sold for roughly $20 including shipping in the last year.
Condition Details
The card is currently in its original factory cellophane packaging within a protective sleeve. Centering appears slightly shifted to the left. Corners appear sharp through the plastic, but potential surface issues from the tight cellophane are common for this set.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The cost of authentication and grading exceeds the market value of the card unless it is a guaranteed PSA 10, and Jay Payton is not a high-demand Hall of Fame caliber player.
Card Description
Jay Payton is shown in a New York Mets road gray jersey, standing with his glove. The card features a prominent 'ROOKIE' banner at the top and the 'Collector's Choice' logo at the bottom. It designates him as a Mets Outfielder.
Notable Features
Rookie Class designation; remains in its original factory-sealed cellophane wrapper.
Authentication Notes
Authentic 1990s card stock and printing. The presence of the original factory plastic seal is a strong indicator of authenticity and lack of tampering.
