Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Near Mint (NM 7)
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $15-$25; PSA 9: $80-$100; PSA 10: $400-$600
Recent Sales
Raw copies consistently sell for $15-$30 on eBay. PSA 10 gem mint examples have recently trended between $450 and $550.
Condition Details
Centering appears slightly heavy toward the left and bottom. Top-right corner shows slight softening. Some minor surface wear visible on the top loader reflecting onto the card profile.
Grading Recommendation
Only worth grading if the card is likely to receive a PSA 10 grade. Based on the centering and top corner, a PSA 8 or 9 is more likely, which may not significantly exceed the cost of grading and shipping.
Card Description
Features Michael Jordan in a Chicago White Sox batting jersey during his first professional baseball stint. The design includes the classic 1991 Upper Deck white border with a green stripe on the left and a wood-grain nameplate at the bottom.
Notable Features
This is Michael Jordan's first professional baseball card released by a major manufacturer. It is a Short Print (SP) insert that was significantly rarer to find in packs than standard base cards in 1991.
Authentication Notes
Displays correct font for nameplate and logo. The Upper Deck hologram (not visible in photo but on reverse) should be verified for authenticity. Card stock and color saturation appear consistent with 1991 production.
