Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Near Mint-Mint (NM-MT 8)
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $3 - $8 / Graded PSA 10: $25 - $40
Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for raw copies range between $2.50 to $7.00 depending on shipping fees.
Condition Details
The card appears clean with sharp edges. Centering looks slightly shifted toward the top-right. Surface shows typical refractive shine of a Mojo finish but no obvious scratches from the photo.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading unless for personal collection. The cost of grading currently exceeds the market value of a raw specimen, and the slight centering variance may prevent a Gem Mint 10.
Card Description
Munetaka Murakami is pictured in a Chicago White Sox uniform (though he is an NPB star, this appears to be a Topps insert/prospect style design often associated with specific sets like '2023 Topps Series 1'). He is shown in a left-handed batting stance, wearing jersey #5.
Notable Features
Features the 'RC' (Rookie Card) logo. Background features a geometric 'Mojo' pattern characteristic of Topps Silver Packs found in Hobby and Jumbo boxes.
Authentication Notes
Authentic Topps Chrome Silver Pack product. Holographic finish and micro-printing in the 'S' logo and naming area are consistent with official 2023 production.
