Estimated Market Value
$1.00 - $3.00 (Raw), $15.00 - $25.00 (Graded PSA 10)
Recent Sales
Base rookies for common pitchers in this set typically sell for under $2 on eBay. Refractor versions carry a minor premium. Most sales for this specific player are currently bundled in team lots or low-end auctions.
Condition Details
The centering appears slightly heavy toward the left border. Surfaces and corners look sharp, though standard chrome surface dimples may be present upon closer inspection. No visible edge chips or whitening in the image.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading unless for personal collection. The cost of grading exceeds the market value of the card for a common relief prospect. A PSA 10 would be necessary to break even on grading fees.
