Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Near Mint-Mint (NM-MT 8)
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $5 - $15; Graded PSA 10: $40 - $60
Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for raw copies of this Mojo Refractor range from $4 to $12 depending on shipping. PSA 10 copies have sold for approximately $45-$55.
Condition Details
Centering appears slightly heavy towards the left. Surface shows minor light scratches common with Chrome finishes. Corners and edges appear sharp through the top loader.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading unless for personal collection. The cost of modern grading ($19-$25) often exceeds the market value for all but Gem Mint copies, and the left-to-right centering may prevent a 10.
Card Description
First Baseman for the Tokyo Yakult Swallows (represented here in a World Baseball Classic context). The player has his number 55 visible on white pinstriped jersey. The card features a distinct 'Mojo' geometric refractor pattern and the Chicago White Sox-style 'S' logo (though he is an NPB player, this set uses MLB-style formatting).
Notable Features
RC (Rookie Card) logo in top left; Bowman Chrome 'B' logo in top right; Mojo Refractor pattern; World Baseball Classic tie-in.
Authentication Notes
Print quality and pinstripe alignment are consistent with authentic Topps/Bowman production. The specific etched texture of the Mojo pattern is difficult to counterfeit.
