Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Excellent (EX 5)
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $0.10 - $0.50; PSA 10: $20 - $35
Recent Sales
Individual raw copies typically sell in bulk lots or for under $1 on eBay. PSA 10 copies have historically sold for roughly $25-30 including shipping.
Condition Details
Top-left corner shows noticeable softening and rounding. Centering is significantly shifted to the right (approx 75/25), with the bottom white border appearing thicker than the top. Surface appears to have some light texture/dimpling consistent with late 80s matte stock.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The visible corner wear and poor centering make it unlikely to achieve a high enough grade to offset the cost of grading fees. This is a high-volume base card from the junk wax era.

Authentication Notes
Authentic. The matte paper stock, print dot pattern in the red ink, and specific font for 'DALE ELLIS' are consistent with original 1989 NBA Hoops production.
