Condition Details
The card appears well-centered with sharp corners visible through the top loader. However, there is a large retail price sticker ($2.50) adhered directly to the front left of the card's surface which likely contains adhesive residue or causes surface damage if removed.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The card is a common parallel with low market demand. Furthermore, the sticker on the surface significantly risks a 'Qualified' grade or low surface sub-grade if adhesive residue remains.
Card Description
Nestor Cortes is depicted in his New York Yankees road grey uniform and navy cap. He is a left-handed pitcher. The card features the 1974 Topps design style with 'YANKEES' in large block letters at the top and a circular 'Pitcher' designation icon at the bottom right.
Notable Features
Features the Heritage Purple Refractor finish, typically found in retail 'Mega Box' formats. This card is part of the 'High Number' series which extends the base Heritage set.
Authentication Notes
The card appears authentic with standard Topps Heritage chrome-stock thickness and refractor finish. The price sticker is an external addition and not part of the card's manufacturing.
