Recent Sales
Base rookie cards for non-star prospects in this set typically sell in bulk or for the cost of shipping on eBay. Recent similar sales range between $0.99 and $1.50.
Condition Details
Surface centering appears shifted slightly to the left. Top-right corner shows minor whitening/wear. Skin oils from being held by hand are likely present on the surface.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The cost of the grading fee (approx. $15-$25) significantly outweighs the market value for a base rookie card unless it is a high-profile superstar, which Imai currently is not in the US market.
