Estimated Market Value
Raw: $0.50 - $2.00 | PSA 9: $10 - $20 | PSA 10: $35 - $60
Recent Sales
Raw base cards from 2006 Score for Hall of Fame veterans like LaDainian Tomlinson regularly sell in low-dollar bulk lots or individually on eBay for $1.00 to $2.00 shipped. PSA 10 examples sell for approximately $40.
Condition Details
Right edge shows visible rough cuts/chipping and tiny fraying. Corners show slight softness, especially the bottom-right and top-right tips. Left-to-right centering is slightly off-center (heavy to the left side). Surface appears clean with solid gloss.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The card's current raw value is under $2.00, and with visible edge wear and off-center margins, it would likely grade at PSA 7 or PSA 8, which yields a value lower than the cost of submission fees ($15-$25). Keep raw in a penny sleeve and top loader for a personal collection.
