Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Excellent (EX 5)
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $0.10 - $0.50; Graded (PSA 10): $15 - $25
Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for raw copies of this card are often sold in bulk 'common' lots or individually for under $1. PSA 10 examples rarely exceed $30 due to high population and lower demand for base cards of this era.
Condition Details
Visual inspection shows significant top-to-bottom off-centering (heavy towards the bottom). Corners appear softened, particularly on the bottom right. Surface has minor visible indentations and light edge wear along the right side.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The card is significantly off-center and part of a 'junk wax' era set with massive print runs. The cost of grading would far exceed the market value of the card unless it was a perfect Gem Mint specimen.
Card Description
The card features Julio Franco of the Texas Rangers wearing a white home jersey and blue team cap. The design is the classic 1990 Topps 'block' style with bright orange/red/yellow borders and the 'RANGERS' team name in stylized yellow text at the top left.
Notable Features
Features veteran Julio Franco, known for his unique batting stance and playing until the age of 49. No serial numbers or special inserts.
Authentication Notes
Authentic 1990 Topps stock. The cardboard is standard grey-back stock typical of the early 90s. No signs of counterfeiting as this is a common card with low individual market value.
