Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Near Mint-Mint (NM-MT 8)
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $5-$12 | PSA 10: $60-$85 | PSA 9: $20-$30
Recent Sales
Raw copies consistently sell between $5 and $15 on eBay. Graded PSA 10 examples have reached $90 due to Taylor's cult following and the difficulty of black borders.
Condition Details
Centering appears slightly shifted to the left (approx 60/40). Surface shows typical chrome-finished light scuffing risk. Top-left corner shows a tiny speck of white. Overall clean edges for a black-border design.
Grading Recommendation
Only worth grading if there is a high confidence in a Gem Mint 10. The black borders of this set are notorious for showing minor chipping and corner wear; if it grades an 8 or 9, the cost of grading may exceed the value added.
Card Description
Sean Taylor is depicted in his away white Washington Redskins jersey (number 21) with a maroon helmet. The 2005 Topps Chrome design features a distinctive black border with red and yellow square accent patterns, mirroring the team's colors.
Notable Features
Second-year card of the late legendary safety. Features the 'Topps Chrome' logo and high-gloss metallic finish. No serial numbering or autographs.
Authentication Notes
Consistent with authentic 2005 Topps Chrome stock. The player name etching and logo placement match known genuine prints from this era.
