Similar modern retro inserts/parallels of Hall of Famers typically sell for under $10 raw on eBay; red border parallels from this set vary based on player popularity.
Condition Details
Card appears to have top-heavy centering with a thicker bottom border. Visible soft corners on the bottom right. Slight surface scuffing or dust visible on the protective sleeve which may affect the card face.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The card is a modern 'throwback' style insert rather than an original vintage card. The cost of grading would likely exceed the market value of the card unless it achieved a perfect 10.
Card Description
Isiah Thomas is shown in his Detroit Pistons uniform, wearing #11, leaning forward while holding a basketball. The design is a tribute to the 1980-81 Topps basketball set, featuring the 'DET' team abbreviation at the top and a curved border design.
Notable Features
Hall of Fame player; 1980-81 Topps retro design; Red foil/border parallel variant; Topps logo in the top right corner.
Authentication Notes
The card exhibits standard modern printing dots and gloss consistent with 2021 Topps production. This is not the original 1980-81 card (which were perforated three-panel strips), but a modern larger-format tribute insert.
