Recent Sales
Similar raw 1990s Upper Deck inserts and base cards of Alex Rodriguez sell consistently on eBay for $1 to $5 depending on exact condition.
Condition Details
Slight wear visible on the dark borders and edges, particularly along the left and right borders with minor chipping of the black foil. Corners appear relatively sharp with minimal softening. Centering is slightly heavy to the right/bottom border. Surface gloss appears well-preserved.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading due to low raw value and edge chipping along the black borders, which would likely keep it at a PSA 8 or lower, making grading costs outweigh the potential return.

The photo captures him running on the field with a 1998 Colorado Rockies All-Star Game logo stamped in silver foil on the lower left of the photo. The card features a distinct black border with a teal nameplate at the bottom bearing his name, team, and position.
Notable Features
Features the 1998 MLB All-Star Game logo (hosted by the Colorado Rockies), depicting his selection as an All-Star during his tenure with the Seattle Mariners.

Standard Upper Deck foil stamping and card stock consistency for the late 1990s. No immediate signs of counterfeiting; holographic Upper Deck logo is present in the upper right corner.
