Estimated Market Value
Raw: $2 - $5; PSA 9: $20 - $35; PSA 10: $150 - $250
Recent Sales
Raw copies typically sell for $2 to $5 on eBay. Recent PSA 9 copies have sold in the $20-$35 range, while PSA 10 copies reach upwards of $150+.
Condition Details
Left-to-right centering is slightly off-center (heavier on left border). Corners look relatively sharp through the plastic sleeve. The glossy surface appears clean with vibrant colors.
Grading Recommendation
Grading is only recommended if you believe the card can achieve a PSA 10 Gem Mint grade, as grading fees (approx. $15–$25) outweigh the market value of raw or lower-graded copies.
Card Description
Features Hall of Famer Gary Payton during his early career with the Seattle SuperSonics in his iconic green jersey #2. The front shows a basketball hoop graphic framing the photo against a light blue background, with 'ROOKIE SENSATIONS' written in red and blue at the top and 'Fleer '91' in a basketball logo on the upper left.
Notable Features
Part of the popular 1991 Fleer Update 'Rookie Sensations' insert set, which was randomly inserted in 1991-92 Fleer Update packs.
Authentication Notes
Appears authentic. Correct glossy finish, color tone, font spacing, and set logo consistent with genuine 1991 Fleer Rookie Sensations cards from the junk wax era.
