Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Excellent (EX 5)
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $0.50 - $2.00; PSA 10: $250 - $350 (highly unlikely for this copy due to centering and corner wear).
Recent Sales
Raw copies typically sell for $1.00 on eBay. PSA 9 examples range from $25-$40, while PSA 10 specimens command significant premiums due to the difficulty of finding perfect centering in this set.
Condition Details
The centering is visibly shifted towards the top and slightly to the left. There is soft wear on the top corners and minor edge whitening. The surface appears generally clean but the card stock shows the typical aging of the 1980s Donruss cardboard.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The current market value of a raw copy is roughly equal to or less than the shipping cost to a grading service. The centering and corner wear would prevent it from achieving a high enough grade to justify the fees.
Card Description
Pete Rose is depicted in his Philadelphia Phillies road powder blue uniform, in a follow-through batting stance. The bottom of the card features a yellow mustard-colored wavy design with the ‘PHILLIES’ team name and the ‘Donruss 84’ logo. His name and position (1B) are printed in a red banner at the very bottom.
Notable Features
Features the iconic 'Donruss 84' logo and identifies Rose as a first baseman for the Phillies prior to his return to the Cincinnati Reds.
Authentication Notes
The card appears authentic, displaying the correct dot pattern for 1984 Donruss printing and standard cardboard stock thickness for the era. No signs of reprint or alteration are present.
