Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Near Mint (NM 7)
Estimated Market Value
$1 - $5 (Raw); $15 - $30 (PSA 9); $100+ (PSA 10)
Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for raw copies range from $0.99 to $3.00 plus shipping. Graded PSA 10 copies have historically sold in the $100-$150 range due to the iconic nature of the 'Showtime' Lakers era.
Condition Details
Centering appears slightly shifted to the right. Corners show minimal wear, but the bottom left corner appears slightly soft. Surface looks clean with no visible creasing.
Grading Recommendation
Generally not worth grading unless it is a flawless candidate for a PSA 10. The cost of grading typically exceeds the market value for mid-grade copies of this mass-produced 'junk wax' era card.
Card Description
The card features Hall of Fame coach Pat Riley in his signature slicked-back hair and suit, pointing from the sidelines during a Los Angeles Lakers game. The design features a purple arched frame, the 'NBA Hoops' logo, and 'LAKERS COACH' text at the bottom.
Notable Features
Features Pat Riley during the height of the Lakers 'Showtime' era. It is his first appearance in the NBA Hoops set as a coach.
Authentication Notes
Authentic 1989-90 NBA Hoops stock. No signs of counterfeiting; the card's low individual market value makes it an unlikely target for replication.
