Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for raw copies range from $0.99 to $2.50. Graded copies of base cards from this set typically sell for the cost of grading plus a small premium for Hall of Fame players.
Condition Details
Centering appears slightly heavy towards the right border. Corners and edges appear sharp within the top loader, but surface inspection is limited by the plastic sleeve.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The cost of grading (approx. $15-$25) significantly exceeds the base market value of the card unless it is a guaranteed Gem Mint 10 for a personal collection.
