Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Near Mint (NM 7)
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $0.25 - $1.00; Graded (PSA 10): $20.00 - $30.00
Recent Sales
Raw copies typically sell in bulk lots or for less than $1 individual. PSA 10 examples occasionally sell for modest premiums to set collectors.
Condition Details
Top-to-bottom centering is slightly off-center. Corners appear relatively sharp but show minor evidence of soft edges. Surface clarity is impacted by the low-light photography of the era but appears free of major scratches.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The cost of authentication and grading exceeds the market value of the card unless it is a guaranteed Gem Mint 10 for a registry set.
Card Description
Otis Thorpe is shown in his Sacramento Kings uniform, though he is listed as a Forward. The card features a primary action shot of Thorpe with his hands behind his head near the rim and a secondary portrait inset in the lower-left corner. The team name 'KINGS' is printed vertically on the left side.
Notable Features
Features the classic 1992-93 Topps white-bordered design with the 'KINGS' vertical text block. Includes a portrait inset which was a signature design element of this set.
Authentication Notes
High confidence in authenticity; this is a high-volume base card from the 'junk wax' era with standard Topps card stock and printing characteristics from 1992.
