Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Good (G 2) to Very Good (VG 3)
Estimated Market Value
Raw (with damage): $0.50 - $1.50; Mint (PSA 9): $25 - $40; Gem Mint (PSA 10): $150 - $200
Recent Sales
Undamaged raw base cards typically sell for $3-$8. Graded PSA 10 specimens often reach $180 on eBay. Cards in this specific damaged condition have negligible resale value.
Condition Details
Significant condition issues are present, most notably a large, deep vertical scratch or surface tear in the upper right quadrant extending from the sky down toward the player's head. Visible edge chipping and corner wear on all corners. Surface shows significant abrasion and loss of foil luster.
Grading Recommendation
No. The severe surface scratch/gouge and edge damage would result in a very low technical grade, likely between a 2 and 3. The cost of grading far exceeds the market value of the card in this state.
Card Description
The card features John Stockton of the Utah Jazz in his away purple jersey (#12), depicted mid-pass against a stylized background of what appears to be a canyon landscape. The 1997 Metal Universe set is known for its space and elemental themes with etched foil textures.
Notable Features
Features the '97-98 Metal Universe logo in the top left. Includes the 'P' (Precious Metal) authenticity stamp/hologram in the bottom left corner which was standard for this set.
Authentication Notes
The high-relief etching and the specific foil pattern of the 'P' stamp are consistent with mid-90s SkyBox production. There are no signs of modern reproduction, though the significant surface damage is the primary concern.
