Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for raw copies typically range from $1.00 to $3.00 including shipping. PSA 9 and 10 copies occasionally sell for higher premiums to set registries.
Condition Details
The card appears extremely well-preserved. Centering is slightly shifted toward the top. The corners look sharp and the edges appear clean from the front view. No visible surface scratches or creases.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of grading ($19+) significantly outweighs the market value of the card unless you are attempting to complete a PSA 10 gem mint set for personal collection.

Marion Motley is pictured as a fullback for the Cleveland Browns. The card features a sepia-toned action photo with a white border. The bottom banner reads 'FOOTBALL GREATS' in blue with a yellow nameplate and the Swell logo in the top left.
Notable Features
Features Hall of Fame running back Marion Motley, one of the first African-American players in the modern pro football era. This is a retrospective set produced long after Motley's playing days.
Authentication Notes
Consistent with 1991 Swell production. The card stock is a semi-glossy white paper. No common counterfeits exist for this set as the market value is relatively low.
