Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Near Mint (NM 7)
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $5 - $12; PSA 9: $40 - $60; PSA 10: $300 - $450
Recent Sales
Ungraded/Raw copies consistently sell on eBay between $5 and $12. PSA 8 copies sell for around $20-$25, PSA 9 around $50, and PSA 10 gem mint examples have sold in the $350-$450 range.
Condition Details
The card exhibits slight off-center alignment from left-to-right (heavier right border). Corners appear relatively sharp through the penny sleeve with minimal soft wear visible. Edges look clean overall.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading unless it is in pristine Gem Mint condition. Due to visible centering bias (left-to-right shift), this card likely grades around a PSA 7 or 8, where grading fees ($15-$25+) would exceed or equal its graded market value.
Card Description
The card features Hall of Famer Wade Boggs in his home Boston Red Sox uniform mid-swing during a batting stance. The top left features the iconic '83 Donruss logo, and the lower border contains a yellow banner with his position 'DH' and name 'WADE BOGGS', next to a baseball glove design containing the team name 'Red Sox'.
Notable Features
Official Rookie Card (RC) of Baseball Hall of Famer Wade Boggs, member of the 3,000 hit club.
Authentication Notes
Appears fully authentic with original 1983 Donruss card stock, accurate logo placement, correct typography, and period-accurate color palette.
