Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Near Mint-Mint (NM-MT 8)
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $3 - $8 | PSA 10: $35 - $50
Recent Sales
Comparable Donruss Laser parallels often sell in the $2 to $10 range depending on the color and player status. As a Hall of Famer, Griffey holds consistent value, but high supply for 2021 Panini products limits ceiling.
Condition Details
Visual centering looks slightly heavy towards the bottom and left. Edges and corners appear sharp through the top loader, though minor surface scuffs on the plastic may be obscuring minor surface details.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading unless for personal collection. Modern Donruss base parallels are high-volume, and the cost of grading (approx $15-$25) likely exceeds the raw market value or the potential gain unless it achieves a perfect Gem Mint 10.
Card Description
Ken Griffey Jr. is shown in his Seattle Mariners away jersey (grey) with his iconic number 24 visible on his back. He is captured mid-swing following through on a left-handed hit. The card features a vibrant orange/yellow laser holographic background pattern typical of Donruss Optic-style parallels, despite being the licensed Donruss brand without team logos.
Notable Features
Features the 'Donruss' logo in the top right, 'Seattle' team identifier (no logo), and 'OF' position tag. This is a non-MLB licensed product (Panini does not have MLB team name/logo rights), so team logos are airbrushed out.
Authentication Notes
The holographic laser pattern and card stock appear consistent with 2021 Panini Donruss manufacturing standards. The font and logo placement match known authentic examples.
