Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Near Mint (NM 7)
Estimated Market Value
$0.25 - $1.00 (Raw); $15 - $25 (PSA 10)
Recent Sales
Raw copies typically sell in bulk lots or for less than $1.00 on eBay. Graded PSA 10 copies occasionally sell for $20-$30 but are low in demand.
Condition Details
The card exhibits significant right-side heavy centering. Top-right and bottom-right corners show visible whitening/softening. The focus in the photo is blurry, but the physical edges appear relatively clean otherwise.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The card is a common base-set insert from the 'junk wax 2' era with poor centering, meaning the cost of grading would significantly exceed the market value of the card.
Card Description
Jason Giambi is shown in his New York Yankees away uniform, completing a swing. The card is part of 'The Sporting News All-Stars' subset. The design features a heavy blue border with a red star-patterned inner frame and a yellow banner at the top.
Notable Features

Authentication Notes
Authentic 2002 Topps stock. The gloss, color saturation, and card stock are consistent with standard Topps production from this era.
