Recent Sales
Orange parallels of this specific insert typically fluctuate based on player performance; similar /25 prospect autographs for Keith have recently sold between $90 and $130 on eBay.
Condition Details
The card has decent centering from left to right, though slightly heavy on the bottom. Top-right corner shows a tiny speck of whitening under magnification. Surface appears clean through the top-loader, but typical light paper-stock softness is expected on 1989 anniversary parallels.
Grading Recommendation
Yes, if it appears to be a PSA 10 candidate. Being a low-numbered (/25) rookie-year autograph of a key Detroit Tigers prospect, a high grade significantly multiplies the value. However, paper-on-paper autographs can sometimes show edge wear that prevents a 10.
Card Description
Colt Keith is shown in his Detroit Tigers home white uniform, pictured in a fielding or throwing motion. The design utilizes the iconic 1989 Topps wood-grain style border reimagined with an Orange parallel color scheme. The top-left features the 'Tigers' script logo.
Notable Features
On-card blue ink autograph; Topps Certified Autograph Issue stamp; 35th Anniversary 1989-2024 logo; Serial numbered /25 on the reverse (implied by Orange parallel standard); RC Logo.
Authentication Notes
The bold blue ink signature matches known Colt Keith exemplars. The 'Topps Certified Autograph Issue' text is sharp and centered. Card stock thickness and gloss appear consistent with authentic 2024 Topps heritage-style products.
