Near Mint (NM 7) (Ungraded)
Estimated Market Value
$5 - $15 (Raw with Autograph); $20 - $40 (if Authenticated by PSA/JSA)
Recent Sales
Base cards of this era sell for roughly $0.25 - $1.00. Raw, unauthenticated autographed versions of Pro Set cards from this era typically auction for under $15 on eBay.
Condition Details
The card is housed in a top-loader which shows significant surface scratches. The card itself appears to have reasonably sharp corners, though centering is slightly shifted to the right. There are possible minor edge dings consistent with vintage card stock.
Grading Recommendation
Not worth grading the card condition due to high production volume and low base value; however, if the autograph is suspected to be authentic, sending it to PSA/DNA or JSA for 'Authentication Only' is recommended to verify the signature.
Card Description
Louis Lipps is pictured in his Pittsburgh Steelers home jersey (number 83) running with a football. The card features a blue sky background and a green field. The layout includes the Pro Set/NFL logo in the top left and a yellow bar at the bottom containing his name, position (WR), and team name (Steelers).
Notable Features
This card features an aftermarket (in-person or through-the-mail) autograph in blue ink across the bottom of the player image. The autograph also includes his jersey number 83. The card carries no official RC (Rookie Card) logo as Lipps debuted in 1984.
Authentication Notes
The autograph appears to be hand-signed after the card was produced. There is no certificate of authenticity (COA) visible. The ink saturation and flow are consistent with a standard felt-tip marker. The base card itself is authentic 1990 Pro Set stock, which was mass-produced.
