Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Good (G 2)
Estimated Market Value
$10 - $25 raw due to heavy wear and writing
Recent Sales
Similar raw 1971 Topps Dave Concepcion cards in low grade sell between $10 and $30 depending on specific eye appeal and defect severity.
Condition Details
Heavy wear on corners, rounded corners, edge chipping, surface wear, and there is visible blue ink writing ("NL") on the front top right of the picture area.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading because the heavy wear, rounded corners, and especially the pen writing on the front would result in a very low grade (likely Authentic or 1/1.5), which would not add value over raw condition.

Notable Features

Authentication Notes
Appears to be an authentic 1971 Topps card based on standard vintage card stock, sizing, and printing characteristics, though it has severe condition flaws and defacement via pen ink.
