Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for raw 1982 Topps Cal Ripken Jr. rookie cards in similar condition range between $35 and $55 depending on exact centering and corner sharpness.
Condition Details
Slight corner rounding and mild edge wear typical of vintage Topps cards from the early 1980s. Centering is relatively good left-to-right, with some minor top-to-bottom bias. Surface appears clean with no major scratches or creases.
Grading Recommendation
Worth grading if corners and surface hold up under magnification. A grade of PSA 7 or 8 will modestly increase the value, while a PSA 9 or higher yields a significant premium.
