Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Near Mint (NM 7)
Estimated Market Value
$1.00 - $3.00 (Raw); $15.00 - $25.00 (PSA 9/10)
Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for this raw card range from $0.99 to $2.50 plus shipping. Graded copies rarely appear as the grading cost often exceeds the market value.
Condition Details
Visible top edge wear and minor whitening on the corners. Centering appears slightly shifted toward the bottom left. The surface shows minor artifacts consistent with general storage without a sleeve.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of submission ($19-$25+) exceeds the raw market value of the card, and the visible edge wear would likely cap the grade at a NM 7 or 8.
Card Description
Mark McGwire of the St. Louis Cardinals is shown in profile kissing a baseball, a iconic image celebrating his home run record achievement. The card features a dark teal border with gold foil accents and 'GOLDEN MOMENTS' printed vertically on the left side. The Topps 50th Anniversary logo is featured in the top right corner.
Notable Features
Includes the Topps 50th Anniversary foil stamp (1951-2001). This insert set commemorates historic milestones in baseball history.
Authentication Notes
The gold foil stamping for the player name and anniversary logo shows correct reflective properties and depth. Print patterns are consistent with early 2000s Topps offset lithography.
