Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for this base rookie card typically range from $0.99 to $2.50 plus shipping for ungraded copies. Graded Gem Mint copies rarely appear for this specific budget-tier set.
Condition Details
The card shows slightly uneven centering (heavier toward the bottom). Corners appear relatively sharp for a raw card, but minor edge wear is visible on the bottom right. Surface appears clean though handling without a sleeve may have introduced minor micro-scratches.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. Upper Deck Victory was a lower-end, mass-produced 'entry-level' product. The cost of professional grading (typically $15-25) significantly exceeds the market value of the card, even in high grade.
Card Description
Features Cleveland Browns quarterback Tim Couch in his white away jersey with orange helmet, number 2. The design features a vertical black-to-orange gradient side bar with a secondary portrait shot of Couch. The background is a halftone dot pattern characteristic of the 1999 Victory set.
Notable Features
True Rookie Card (RC) from his debut season as the #1 overall NFL draft pick. Features the expansion era Cleveland Browns graphics.
Authentication Notes
Card appears authentic. The halftone dot printing pattern is consistent with Upper Deck's 1999 production standards. Card stock is the standard thin gloss typical of the Victory brand.
