Recent Sales
Similar Topps MLB Debut insert cards of vintage legends typically sell in the $3 to $10 range raw on eBay depending on condition.
Condition Details
Slight corner softening on the top left and bottom left corners, minor edge wear along the top border, and overall surface preservation is generally good with no visible creases.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading due to low raw card value and minor edge/corner wear that would likely limit the grade to a PSA 8 or 9, making grading costs higher than the potential value increase.
