Condition & Value Assessment

Condition Grade

Excellent (EX 5)

Estimated Market Value

$1.00 - $3.00 (Raw); $15.00 - $30.00 (PSA 8); $75.00+ (PSA 10)

Recent Sales

Raw copies consistently sell for under $5 on eBay. Graded PSA 9 copies have recently sold in the $20-$40 range.

Condition Details

Moderate top-to-bottom centering issues. Visible corner softening on all four corners. Slight edge wear on the right border. Surface appears okay through the sleeve but exhibits standard mid-grade aging.

Grading Recommendation

Not recommended for professional grading. The centering and corner wear suggest a grade of EX 5 to NM 6, which would not yield a positive return on investment given current grading fees.

Card Description

A horizontal 'AL Active Career Victory Leaders' checklist featuring three future Hall of Fame or legendary pitchers: Don Sutton (Brewers, 266 Victories), Jim Palmer (Orioles, 268 Victories), and Tommy John (Angels, 248 Victories). The card uses a multi-photo layout with boxed portraits.

Notable Features

Includes two Hall of Famers (Sutton and Palmer). Labeled as 'AL Active Career Victory Leaders' at the time of printing. Contains three portraits on one card.

Authentication Notes

Consistent with authentic 1983 Topps card stock and printing techniques. The 'blue/black' ink on the Topps logo and pixelation patterns in the photos are characteristic of the original run.
