Condition & Value Assessment

Condition Grade

Estimated Market Value

$2 - $10 (Raw)

Recent Sales

Similar cards from this era/player sell for $5-$12 on eBay in ungraded condition. High-grade (PSA 9+) copies carry a premium, but this specific card's condition is mid-grade.

Condition Details

Top-left corner shows soft rounding and white chipping. Bottom-right corner has visible wear. Centering is shifted slightly to the left. Surface appears clean but edges show minor friction wear.

Grading Recommendation

Not recommended for grading. The estimated grade of 5 or 6 would cost more in fees than the value added. Only high-end Hall of Fame rookies or Gem Mint cards from this era justify modern grading costs.
