Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Excellent (EX 5)
Estimated Market Value
$0.50 - $2.00 (Raw); $15 - $25 (PSA 9/10)
Recent Sales
Recent sales on eBay show raw copies typically sell for approximately $1.00 plus shipping. Graded Gem Mint copies rarely surface but command a small premium due to scarcity in high grade.
Condition Details
The card shows visible corner wear and minor edge chipping, particularly on the blue borders which are prone to showing damage. Centering appears slightly shifted to the left and bottom.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of the grading fee significantly exceeds the market value of the card in its current condition.
Card Description

The design features a blue border with black and red accents, a 'Rated Rookie' logo in the bottom right, and a red bar at the bottom containing his name and position (Catcher).
Notable Features
Features the 'Rated Rookie' logo; Identical design to 1988 Donruss but released under the Leaf brand for the Canadian market.
