Recent Sales
Recent sales for Royce Lewis 2018 Bazooka Autographs have trended between $35 and $60 depending on the boldness of the signature and overall centering. Graded 9s typically sell for a small premium over raw, while 10s command a significant multiplier.
Condition Details
The card is currently in a binder sleeve which can obscure surface flaws. Centering appears slightly shifted toward the bottom left. Top-right corner shows very minor soft white tip. The left edge appears crisp.
Grading Recommendation
If the card is intended for resale, it is worth grading only if it is likely to achieve a Gem Mint (10) grade. As it is a sticker autograph, collectors are more critical of the centering and surface quality. Based on the image, a PSA 9 is likely, which may not significantly exceed the cost of grading plus raw value.
Card Description
The card features Royce Lewis representing the Cedar Rapids Kernels (Minnesota Twins affiliate). He is shown in profile wearing sunglasses and a team cap. The design is a throwback to the 1970 Bazooka gum cards, featuring a speech bubble that contains the autograph.
Notable Features
Sticker autograph signed 'Royce Lewis'. Features the 'Bazooka Autographs' branding. Topps-certified autograph issue notation on the front. Player is listed as a Shortstop (SS).
Authentication Notes
The signature matches known Royce Lewis exemplars from his early professional career. The Topps holographic sticker and matte card stock typical of the Heritage Minor League set are present. No immediate signs of counterfeiting are visible in the provided photo.
