Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Near Mint (NM 7)
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $50 - $100, Graded (PSA 7): $120 - $200
Recent Sales
Recent raw sales on eBay range from $60 to $90 depending on exact centering and surface condition.
Condition Details
Slight centering shift towards the top and left, minor corner softening visible, clean surface with no major creases or paper loss.
Grading Recommendation
Worth grading if centering is within acceptable tolerances and surface is pristine, as a PSA 7 or higher commands a solid premium over raw copies.
Card Description
Features Hall of Fame quarterback Joe Montana of the San Francisco 49ers in his red uniform with number 16 visible, throwing the ball in front of a practice net.
Notable Features
Hall of Famer, iconic second-year card following his 1980 rookie card, highly sought-after vintage football issue.
Authentication Notes
Card stock appears consistent with 1981 Topps production; standard font and team color matching present, though in-person examination of back and under magnification is recommended to rule out modern counterfeits.
