Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Near Mint-Mint (NM-MT 8)
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $3 - $8; PSA 10: $35 - $50
Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for raw copies range from $2 to $10 plus shipping, whereas PSA 10 graded copies have settled in the $40 mark as of late 2023.
Condition Details
Centering appears slightly heavy toward the left and top borders. Minimum surface issues visible through the light reflection of the top loader, edges and corners appear sharp through the plastic.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading unless for personal collection. The high population and current market value for Seiya Suzuki base/SP rookies do not typically justify the grading fees compared to the potential ROI profit.
Card Description
Suzuki is shown in a batting stance wearing the Chicago Cubs home pinstripe uniform. The design is a throwback to the 1973 Topps set, featuring a rounded image frame and a 'stick-figure' player icon in a green circle representing his position as an Outfielder.
Notable Features
Includes official MLB 'RC' rookie card logo in the top left. This card is part of the 'High Number' series (SP) which generally have lower production than cards #1-400.
Authentication Notes
Consistent font spacing and 1973-retro matte card stock appearance. Printing of the RC logo and Topps Heritage branding is crisp, consistent with authentic Topps production.
