Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Near Mint-Mint (NM-MT 8)
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $2-$5 | PSA 10: $30-$50
Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for raw copies range from $1.50 to $4.00. Graded PSA 10 copies have sold for approximately $40 recently.
Condition Details
The card is inside a top-loader with a price sticker on the plastic. Centering appears slightly heavy toward the left and bottom based on the border design. Corners and edges look sharp through the plastic, but surface cannot be fully assessed due to the sticker and protector.
Grading Recommendation
Generally not recommended for grading unless it is a guaranteed Gem Mint candidate. The cost of grading often exceeds the market value for base cards of this era unless they achieve a PSA 10 grade.
Card Description
Aaron Judge is shown in his New York Yankees home pinstripe uniform mid-swing. The card features a 'League Leaders' heading, celebrating Judge's 2017 AL Home Run title. The design uses the 'ribbon' brand style typical of 2018 Topps with the American League logo in the bottom left.
Notable Features
Features the 'League Leaders' designation. This was card #1 in the 2018 Topps flagship set, a position usually reserved for the previous year's biggest star.
Authentication Notes
The card appears authentic with correct Topps 2018 design elements, font styles, and logo placement. No signs of reproduction or counterfeiting are visible.
