Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Very Good (VG 3) to Near Mint (NM 7)
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $100 - $300 depending on exact back condition; Graded (PSA 5-6): $250 - $600+
Recent Sales
1962 Topps Roger Maris #1 in mid-grade (PSA 5/6) regularly sells on eBay and major auction houses within the $300 - $500 range.
Condition Details
Image shows standard vintage card in a top loader; top and left borders appear slightly off-center, typical light corner softness for a 1962 Topps issue, but overall clean borders and crisp pink banner.
Grading Recommendation
Recommended for professional grading (PSA or SGC) given Roger Maris's status as a vintage superstar and card #1 in the set, provided the back is clean and free of major paper loss.
Card Description
Features Roger Maris of the New York Yankees in his outfield pinstripe uniform, captured from behind looking over his shoulder. Includes a yellow team pennant graphic with 'YANKEES', and a vibrant pink bottom border displaying his name and position 'OUTFIELD'.
Notable Features
Card #1 in the iconic 1962 Topps baseball set, featuring the legendary single-season home run record holder following his historic 1961 season.
Authentication Notes
Standard vintage Topps wood-grain or gray-back stock should be verified. Beware of counterfeits and reprints common for vintage star cards, but visual indicators match authentic 1962 Topps printing characteristics.
