Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Near Mint (NM 7)
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $2 - $5 USD | PSA 9: $20 - $35 USD | PSA 10: $100 - $150 USD
Recent Sales
Raw ungraded copies regularly trade between $2.00 and $5.00 on eBay. PSA 9 copies average $25-$30, while gem mint PSA 10 examples command around $120-$150 due to high population in lower grades.
Condition Details
The card is currently housed inside a vintage four-screw plastic holder, which exhibits significant exterior surface scratching, scuffs, and clouding. The card itself appears relatively well-preserved; centering is slightly off top-to-bottom, corners appear sharp to slightly soft at the tips, and edges look clean. Caution: long-term storage in heavy screw-down holders without a recessed card cavity can compress the surface and corners over time.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading unless removed from the screw-down holder and verified to be in pristine gem-mint condition. Given the high grading fees relative to the card's base market value, grading is generally only profitable if it guarantees a PSA 10 grade.
Card Description
Features Shaquille O'Neal in his LSU Tigers college basketball uniform (#33) running up the court against Duke. The left side has a vertical gold foil strip featuring the 1992 Classic Four Sport Draft Pick Collection logo, his name 'Shaquille O'Neal', and stamped gold lettering detailing his draft positioning/height/weight stats.
Notable Features
Early pre-NBA rookie draft pick issue featuring LSU Tigers uniform prior to his Orlando Magic NBA debut; iconic vertical gold foil accent banner on the front.
Authentication Notes
Appears authentic. Correct card stock, crisp foil stamping, and standard 1992 Classic color tones. Highly common production run from the early 1990s mass-production era.
