Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Very Good (VG 3)
Estimated Market Value
Raw/Condition as shown: $2 - $5. Estimated PSA 8: $40 - $60.
Recent Sales
Low-grade raw copies typically sell for under $5 on eBay. Graded PSA 7-8 copies fluctuate between $30 and $75 depending on centering.
Condition Details
The card shows significant wear including rounded and frayed corners, visible edge chipping, and surface scuffing. The centering is noticeably shifted to the left and bottom. There are signs of possible light creasing or surface indentations near the edges.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The current condition exhibits significant wear and poor centering which would likely result in a grade of 3 or 4, which does not cover the cost of professional grading fees.

The card features a vibrant green background, a blue 'CHAPARRALS' team name in stylized block letters, and his name and position at the bottom.
Notable Features
ABA (American Basketball Association) team designation. This set is known for its classic 1970s design and colorful presentation.
Authentication Notes
The card appears authentic with era-appropriate card stock and 'chip-style' wear. The print pattern and typography align with 1971 Topps production standards.
