Condition & Value Assessment

Condition Grade

Very Good-Excellent (VG-EX 4)

Estimated Market Value

$1.00 - $3.00 (Raw)

Recent Sales

Recent eBay sales for raw copies of this card in similar condition range from $0.99 to $2.50 plus shipping. PSA 10 gem mint copies sell for $100-$150, but this card does not qualify for that tier.

Condition Details

Visible corner wear and rounding on all four corners; significant edge whitening along the right black border; surface stains/spots near the right edge of the white banner; centered slightly toward the bottom-left.

Grading Recommendation

Not recommended for professional grading. The costs of grading ($19-$25+) far exceed the market value of the card in this specific condition (estimated Grade 4 or 5).

Card Description

New York Yankees First Baseman. The card features the iconic Perez-Steele canvas-style artwork depicting an oversized portrait of Mattingly in a Yankees cap alongside a full-body action pose in pinstripes. A facsimile autograph is printed across the chest area.

Notable Features

Features Dick Perez artwork; printed facsimile signature (not a real hand-signed autograph); part of the popular Diamond Kings opening subset of the 1987 Donruss set.

Authentication Notes

Authentic 1987 Donruss card stock. Note that the signature is part of the printed design (facsimile) and is not a hand-signed item. Card shows natural aging and wear consistent with 1980s cardboard.
