Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Near Mint (NM 7)
Estimated Market Value
Raw value estimated between $15 to $30 depending on precise corner wear and surface residue from the sticker; graded examples in PSA 7 range around $40 to $60.
Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for 1971 Topps Al Kaline raw cards in similar condition average approximately $20.
Condition Details
Card appears to be housed inside a protective top loader with a price sticker placed directly over the card surface. Minor corner softening and standard vintage edge wear can be expected for a 1971 issue, though centering looks relatively decent.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading given the raw value, moderate vintage condition, and potential surface residue from the shop price tag covering part of the image.
