Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Very Good-Excellent (VG-EX 4)
Estimated Market Value
$0.50 - $2.00 (Raw); $15 - $25 (PSA 8)
Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for raw copies of this card typically fall between $0.99 and $3.00 including shipping. High-grade PSA 9 or 10 examples can fetch $30-$100+, but this specific card's condition precludes those values.
Condition Details
The card shows significant centering issues, heavily skewed toward the bottom right. There is visible corner wear and rounding on the bottom right and top right corners. There also appears to be slight edge chipping/roughness on the right side.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of the grading fee (approx. $15-$25) significantly exceeds the market value of the card in this condition (VG-EX due to centering and corner wear). Grading would result in a net financial loss.
Card Description
Frank Minnifield is shown in his Cleveland Browns white jersey with the number 31. He is wearing his helmet and gloves with hands on hips. The 1988 Topps design features a distinctive inner border of yellow ovals/dots set against a solid red outer border.
Notable Features
Features the 'Pro Bowl' designation on the back (not visible in image but standard for this card). Minnifield was a standout cornerback and a key member of the 'Dawg Pound'.
Authentication Notes
The card appears to be an authentic 1988 Topps issue. The printing of the yellow dot border and the specific 'cardboard' stock texture are consistent with internal Topps production from that era. No signs of modern reproduction are visible.
