Similar Topps Black parallels from 2007 for mid-tier stars sell between $10 and $40 depending on player popularity and condition. Full set Registry collectors drive demand for these /56 serial numbered cards.
Condition Details
Notable edge whitening and corner wear visible against the black border, particularly on the right side and bottom corners. Surface shows minor light scratches.
Grading Recommendation
Potentially worth grading if a high grade (PSA 9+) is achievable. However, the black borders are extremely condition-sensitive and even minor whitening significantly lowers the grade. This specific copy appears to have enough edge wear to limit its grading ceiling.
Card Description
Philadelphia Phillies Pitcher Cole Hamels and Los Angeles Dodgers Catcher Russell Martin. The card features a black border design with the team names at the top and 'CLASSIC COMBO' in a red banner at the bottom. Facsimile signatures are printed over the player images.
Notable Features
Limited edition serial numbering to /56 (the number of years Topps produced cards at that time). Features the Rookie Card (RC) logo equivalents for these players' early career stages despite being their second year.
Authentication Notes
Consistent with 2007 Topps Black parallel stock and foil stamping. The thickness of the card and the matte finish of the black border are typical for this era.
