Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Excellent-Mint (EX-MT 6)
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $3.00 - $8.00; PSA 10: $150.00 - $200.00; PSA 9: $25.00 - $35.00
Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for raw copies range from $2 to $10. High-grade slabbed copies (PSA 10) have sold for over $150 due to the difficulty of finding the gold foil in perfect condition.
Condition Details
Card appears to be in decent raw condition but shows visible top-heavy centering. The corners show slight softening, and for these 1992 Topps Gold cards, the gold foil is highly susceptible to flaking or surface scratches which are likely present upon closer inspection.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading unless you believe it is a flawless Mint 9 or 10. The value of an EX-MT 6 or NM 7 would be less than the cost of the grading fee.
Card Description
Roger Clemens of the Boston Red Sox is shown in a pitching follow-through motion. The card features a white border with a distinctive 'Topps Gold' foil logo in the bottom right corner. The player's name and team are embossed in gold foil along the left side (as viewed vertically). The background includes a stadium scoreboard and blurred fans.
Notable Features
First year of the 'Topps Gold' parallel series. Features the American League All-Star designation. Serial numbering was not used for this set, but production was significantly lower than the standard base set.
Authentication Notes
The gold foil stamping is the primary indicator of authenticity for this parallel; it should be sharp and slightly raised. Card stock is the standard brown/gray cardboard used by Topps in 1992.
