Near Mint-Mint (NM-MT 8)
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $20 to $40; PSA 9: $150 to $200; PSA 10: $1,200 to $1,500+
Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for raw copies range from $25 to $50 depending on sharpness. PSA 10 copies continue to command a high premium as one of the 'iconic' cards of the 1980s.
Condition Details
Visual inspection shows strong centering, perhaps slightly favored to the left (55/45). Edges appear sharp, though the bottom-right corner shows extremely minor white touches. Surface appears clean through the top loader.
Grading Recommendation
Highly recommended if the surface is free of scratches. The 1984 Donruss set is notoriously difficult to find in high grades due to the fragile card stock and print centering. A PSA 9 or 10 result significantly increases value.
Card Description
Features a close-up portrait of Darryl Strawberry in his New York Mets away jersey and cap. The design includes three yellow curved stripes above a dark blue name bar. The '84 Donruss' logo is positioned on the right side.
Notable Features
Widely considered Darryl Strawberry's most desirable rookie card alongside his 1984 Topps Tiffany and Fleer counterparts. Features the 'Donruss 84' logo and his 'OF' (Outfielder) position.
Authentication Notes
Consistent with authentic 1984 Donruss stock including the characteristic dot-matrix print pattern in the facial tones and the specific typography of the nameplate and year logo.
