Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Good (G 2)
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $5 - $15; Graded (PSA 2): $20 - $35
Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for raw copies in low grade typically fall between $8 and $20 depending on crease severity. High-grade PSA 8 copies can exceed $400, but this specimen is in the low-grade category.
Condition Details
Moderate to heavy wear on all four corners; significant chipping and edge wear on the right border; surface creasing visible on the left side under the star logo and top right; heavy centering shift toward the bottom right.
Grading Recommendation
Not worth grading in current condition. The grading fees would likely exceed the final market value of a PSA 2 or 3 grade. Keep as a raw PC (personal collection) item.
Card Description
Card features Wilt Chamberlain in his L.A. Lakers jersey #13, attempting a layup or block. The design features a blue lower section with a '71-72' star logo, identifying him as a 2nd Team NBA All-Star. His position is listed as Center.
Notable Features
Hall of Fame player; 2nd Team NBA All-Star designation; iconic 'star' design of the 1972-73 Topps set.
Authentication Notes
The card stock appears to be the correct vintage offset paper used by Topps in the early 70s. The 'fuzzy' print quality on the blue ink is consistent with authentic production from this era.
