Recent Sales
Recent 1997 Donruss Elite base inserts of similar players have sold on eBay for approximately $0.99 to $2.50 plus shipping. Graded copies of this specific set rarely appear unless they are the lower-numbered parallels like 'Status' or 'Aspirations'.
Condition Details
The card shows slight bottom-heavy centering. There is visible corner wear on the bottom left and bottom right tips. The foil edges on the right side appear to have minor chipping common for this mid-90s stock.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The high production run of 10,000 copies and the current market value for the player do not justify the grading fees ($15-$25). The visible corner wear likely prevents a high enough grade to increase value profitabily.
Card Description
Greg Vaughn is pictured in his San Diego Padres home pinstripe uniform, following through on a swing. He is playing Left Field (LF). The card design features a marble-textured silver foil border, the iconic Donruss Elite 'E' logo in the center, and five stars at the bottom.
Notable Features
Features high-gloss foil finish and serial numbering (though numbering is on the back and not visible in photo). This set was known for being a premium insert during the 'Junk Wax' transition era.
Authentication Notes
The card exhibits the correct foil reflectivity and font types for a 1997 Donruss Elite product. No signs of color bleaching or counterfeit printing are present. The textured 'marble' pattern on the frame is consistent with authentic production.
