Recent Sales
Recent sales of common player base rookie cards from 1994 OPC Premier usually trend at the lower floor of the market, often sold in lots for less than $0.50 per card.
Condition Details
Visible corner softening on the bottom left and top left corners. Centering is offset towards the bottom. Slight edge wear visible along the bottom border. A light surface scuff appears near the right edge near the player's elbow.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The player is not a high-profile star or Hall of Famer, and the market value for a graded common from this era rarely covers the cost of the grading fee unless it is a perfect Gem Mint 10.
