Similar Holo Purple/Rocket parallels for retired stars typically sell between $2 and $8 on eBay. Centered base Holo variants for Traynor have sold in the $3 range.
Condition Details
Centering appears slightly heavy towards the left border. Corners and edges look sharp based on the photo with no visible whitening. Surface displays well without obvious scratching.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading unless for a personal collection. The cost of grading exceeds the market value of the card, as Pie Traynor is a legacy Hall of Famer with lower market demand compared to modern rookies or ultra-high-end vintage.
Card Description
The card features a black and white vintage photograph of Hall of Fame third baseman Pie Traynor in a Pittsburgh uniform holding a bat over his shoulder. The design is modern with a multi-color holographic rocket-patterned border. The bottom left identifies the city 'PITTSBURGH' and player name, while the bottom right denotes his position '3B'.
Notable Features
Features a Hall of Fame player in a modern Panini Donruss design. The 'Rocket' pattern within the Holo Purple parallel is a specific retail or pack-specific insert blink. Note: Panini is unlicensed by MLB, so team logos are airbrushed/removed.
Authentication Notes
Authentic Panini Donruss product. The crispness of the holographic foil, correct Donruss 'd' branding, and standard card stock thickness are all consistent with 2023 mass-market production.
