Recent Sales
SI Kids cards of non-major sport athletes typically sell in low-cost bundles or for under $10 individually on platforms like eBay. Most market value in this set is driven by the Tiger Woods and Mia Hamm rookies.
Condition Details
Generally clean edges but contains typical perforation roughness from being detached from a magazine sheet. Centering appears slightly shifted to the left and bottom. Visible surface wear from the binder sleeve.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The cost of the grading fee will likely exceed the market value of the card. These cards are prone to low grades due to the perforated edges which are difficult to preserve in Gem Mint condition.
Card Description
Cathy Hearn is depicted navigating whitewater rapids. She is wearing a yellow top, life vest with bib #416, and a helmet while holding a double-bladed paddle. The card identifies her as a 'Whitewater Kayaker' from 'Lime Rock, Connecticut'. The background features a green teal-patterned border with the SI Kids logo in the bottom left.
Notable Features
Includes a paddle and waves icon in the player name banner. Part of an 9-card perforated sheet printed inside the Sports Illustrated for Kids magazine.
Authentication Notes
The card exhibits the standard dot-matrix printing style and perforated edge residue consistent with authentic SI Kids magazine inserts from the early 1990s.
