Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for raw copies of this specific card range from $0.99 to $2.50 plus shipping. Graded copies rarely appear as the cost of grading usually exceeds the card's raw market value.
Condition Details
The card appears clean with sharp colors. Centering favors the right side (left-heavy border). Corners show very slight softening common for this card stock. The top right corner has a minor speck of white visible.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. While Gatski is a Hall of Famer, this 1991 Swell card is part of a mass-produced 'Junk Wax' era set and does not hold high market demand. The cost of professional grading (approx. $15-$25) would likely exceed the card's final value.
Card Description
Frank Gatski is shown in a black-and-white (sepia) action pose in his Cleveland Browns uniform, wearing jersey number 52. He is in a three-point stance as a center. The card features a red border frame, the 'Swell' logo in the top left, and a 'Football Greats' banner across the bottom above a yellow nameplate.
Notable Features
Features the Pro Football Hall of Fame logo on the bottom left. Frank Gatski was an inaugural member of the Cleveland Browns and a four-time Pro-Bowler.
Authentication Notes
The card appears authentic to the 1991 Swell production run. The card stock is typical white semi-gloss; the printing of the red and yellow elements is consistent with standard offset lithography used for this set.
