Condition & Value Assessment

Condition Grade

Excellent (EX 5)

Estimated Market Value

$1 - $3 (Raw) / $25 - $40 (PSA 8)

Recent Sales

Recent eBay sales for raw copies of this card frequently range from $0.99 to $2.50. High-grade (PSA 9 or 10) examples can fetch $50-$150, but centered copies are rare.

Condition Details

The card exhibits significant off-center alignment toward the bottom-left. There is visible corner softening, particularly on the top-right corner, and minor surface wear/soiling characteristic of cards kept in binders without individual sleeves.

Grading Recommendation

Not recommended for grading. The centering is significantly off, likely limiting the grade to a PSA 5 or 6 regardless of surface condition. The cost of grading exceeds the market value of the expected grade.

Card Description

A vertical 'AL Active Career ERA Leaders' card featuring three Hall of Fame/Star pitchers. Jim Palmer (Orioles) is the central large photo, flanked by smaller inset photos of Rollie Fingers (Brewers) at the top and Ron Guidry (Yankees) at the bottom. The design uses Topps' iconic 1983 dual-photo/circle-and-square aesthetic.

Notable Features

Features three legendary pitchers; includes career ERA stats as of the end of the 1982 season. Contains two Hall of Famers (Palmer and Fingers).

Authentication Notes

Authentic 1983 Topps stock. The characteristic cardboard grain, 'Topps' logo font, and period-accurate color saturation match known genuine examples.
