Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Excellent (EX 5)
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $0.50 - $2.00; PSA 8 NM-MT: $15 - $25; PSA 9 Mint: $60 - $80
Recent Sales
Raw copies frequently sell in lots for under $1 on eBay. Graded PSA 9 copies have recently sold between $65 and $85. PSA 10 examples command a significant premium over $400.
Condition Details
Visible softness and wear on all four corners; centering is shifted slightly towards the left/bottom (approx 65/35); minor edge chipping on the right side; surface appears clean but lacks original factory gloss.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The visible corner wear and centering issues will likely limit the grade to a PSA 5 or 6, where the cost of grading exceeds the market value of the card.
Card Description
The card features Hall of Fame pitcher Jim Palmer of the Baltimore Orioles. He is shown in a candid, close-up shot during a stadium interview. The design is the classic 1982 Topps 'hockey stick' style with a facsimile signature at the bottom left and the team name 'ORIOLES' in a ribbon at the bottom right.
Notable Features
Facsimile autograph (pre-printed on all cards in the set); Hall of Fame player; classic 1982 Topps design with red and orange accent colors.
Authentication Notes
Consistent with authentic 1982 Topps card stock and printing methods. The dot matrix patterns in the photo and the specific cardboard stock color on the edges are typical for the era.
