Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for raw 2002 Topps Chrome Steve Young cards range from $1 to $6. Graded PSA 10 copies have sold between $80 and $110 over the past year.
Condition Details
The card is mounted in a plaque, which significantly impacts its condition and potential for removal without damage. Visible scratches and scuffing are present on the holder/plaque surface; if the card itself is affected, the grade is lower. Centering appears slightly shifted to the right.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The card is low-value in its current state as a base veteran card, and the risk of damage during removal from the plaque makes it unlikely to achieve a high enough grade to justify the fees.
Card Description
Steve Young is pictured in his San Francisco 49ers home jersey (number 8) scrambling with the football. The card features a metallic chrome finish characteristic of the Topps Chrome brand, with the 49ers logo and team name at the bottom in a stylized font.
Notable Features
Hall of Fame player, iconic 49ers jersey, 2002 Topps Chrome design, mounted on a commemorative marble-style plaque with an engraved nameplate.
Authentication Notes
The card appears to be an authentic 2002 Topps Chrome issue. The Refractor-like sheen and font types match the production standards for that year.
