Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Very Good (VG 3)
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $0.25 - $1.00; Graded PSA 8+: $15.00 - $30.00
Recent Sales
High-grade examples (PSA 9) have sold for around $40-$50. Raw commons from this era typically sell for less than a dollar in lots.
Condition Details
Visible rounding and soft edges on all corners. Noticeable surface wear and staining (likely age-related toning). Top edge shows chipping. Centering is shifted moderately towards the left border.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The card exhibits significant corner wear and surface aging. The cost of grading exceeds the market value of the expected low-to-mid grade return.
Card Description
The card features Fred Ahern in a Colorado Rockies jersey despite the 'North Stars' team banner, noted by the 'Now with North Stars' text at the bottom. He is depicted in an action stance on the ice holding a Koho stick.
Notable Features
Includes 'Now with North Stars' trade notation. Features the classic 1978-79 Topps design with a circular team/position logo in the top left corner.
Authentication Notes
Authentic vintage Topps card stock. Printing dot pattern and font styles are consistent with 1978 factory production.
