Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Very Good (VG 3)
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $2 - $10; PSA 9/10: $50 - $150+ (rare for perforated cards)
Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for raw copies range from $5 to $12 depending on the cleanliness of the perforation cuts.
Condition Details
Card shows significant rough edges (perforations are uneven), corner softening, and surface wear consistent with being a sheet-cut card from a magazine. Top right corner has a noticeable ink mark/scuff.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading unless you believe it can achieve a PSA 9 or 10. The perforations are messy and there are visible surface marks that would likely lead to a low grade (VG 3 or 4).
Card Description
Features Paul Caligiuri of the U.S. Soccer Team playing in a white jersey and blue shorts. The design has a teal leopard-print border with the 'Sports Illustrated for Kids' logo in the bottom left. The text identifies him as a Midfielder.
Notable Features
This is a sheet-cut card originally included as a perforated insert in Sports Illustrated for Kids magazine. It is widely considered one of his earliest and most recognizable trading cards.
Authentication Notes
Authenticity is consistent with 1990 SI Kids card stock. The perforation pattern on the edges matches the standard magazine tear-away sheets used during that era.
