Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Excellent (EX 5)
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $0.10 - $0.50; PSA 10: $20 - $30
Recent Sales
Bulk lots containing this card typically sell for pennies per card. Single sales are rare due to high supply and low demand. Recently, high-grade PSA 10 copies have sold for approximately $25 including shipping.
Condition Details
Rough centering with a heavy top border tilt; fuzzy and worn corners visible especially on the bottom-right; minor edge chipping; surface appears relatively clean but potentially shows age-related dimpling.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The card's market value is very low, and the cost of grading (approx. $15-$25) significantly exceeds both the current and potential resale value of this specific unit.
Card Description
Otis Thorpe is shown in his Houston Rockets home white jersey with number 33. Despite the 'KINGS' vertical text on the left (representing the team name of a subset or his former team), the card design features a large action photo of Thorpe dunking and a small portrait profile image in the bottom-left corner. The Topps logo is in the upper right.
Notable Features
Includes a dual-photo design with both action and portrait shots; 'F' designation for Forward; prominently displays 'KINGS' vertically on the left border.
Authentication Notes
The card exhibits standard 1990s card stock color and Topps printing dot patterns. There are no indications of counterfeiting, as this card has low market value and is not a target for forgers.
