Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Excellent (EX 5)
Estimated Market Value
$0.50 - $2.00 (Raw) / $15.00 - $30.00 (Slabbed PSA 9/10)
Recent Sales
Ungraded copies frequently sell for under $1.00 on platforms like eBay as a common from the 'junk wax' era. Graded high-end copies (PSA 10) can fetch higher premiums for Hall of Fame collectors.
Condition Details
Visible whitening and chipping along the right-hand edge; soft corners (specifically bottom left); potential surface scuffs; centering appears slightly top-heavy visually.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The card shows visible edge wear and corner softening that would likely result in a grade lower than an 8. Given the high production volume of 1993 Upper Deck, only Gem Mint copies provide a return on the cost of grading.
