Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for standard 2021 Bowman veteran base cards of mid-tier stars often sell in bulk lots or for approximately $1 plus shipping. Higher demand exists for his 1st Bowman and Rookie cards compared to his veteran base cards.
Condition Details
The card shows slightly heavy top-bottom centering (shifted down). There is a visible minor nick/whitening on the bottom right corner. Edges appear sharp, and the surface seems clean without significant scratches in the image provided.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The cost of grading (typically $15-$25+) far exceeds the current market value of a base veteran card of Luis Castillo. Grading is generally reserved for rare parallels or rookie cards.
